Listen I'm not condoning any person for having a visit to this place, and I don't have enough…read moreexperience to know if this is normal at other jails but I just thought everyone would get a chuckle with a review of the intake department. The entire department of intake guards is just the sheriffs department rejects. None of them have even spent a minute in a gym and the majority of them look as if they just got done eating 7 donuts. their only upper hand is that they have weapons while you have your hands cuffed. I watched one guy get taken back behind curtains and beat by 4 guards who would otherwise struggle in a fair environment, all because he made a joke about how the know-it-all guard was short. He's Hispanic/asian and is trying to grow a beard but it's a struggle for him. The inmates frequently pick on him for being short, and He thought he was cool by putting me in solitary because "I didn't look like I respected him," to which I replied that respect was earned not given. That was his green light to handcuff me, throw me into a cell, and rip apart my single sheet of paper with phone numbers. Mind you, I was arrested for a suspended license and was released same day. I did nothing violent, was quiet, posed no harm to anybody. The night time guards pretty much all of them were super reasonable and even helpful at times, and would converse or even joke a bit with you. However, the day time guards it's pretty obvious they're picked on frequently and were likely bullied when younger. I get that they're dealing with some terrible people, but they also deal with folks who made a very simple mistake and are just trying to be released. They're extremely self conscious and it's obvious that they know that if they were on and even field with the inmates that they wouldn't be nearly as confident. Yelling, speaking with a fake deep voice does not change the fact that people don't respect this group of Scorned sheriffs rejects. You have grown women out in squad cars risking their lives but then you have this group of losers sitting in intake knowing they weren't brave or qualified enough to do what the real sheriffs do

My experience with Orange County Jail has been extremely negative. Many of the officers who control…read moreinmate movement and meal times appear to abuse their authority and treat inmates harshly. They often yell at and disrespect inmates instead of handling situations with professionalism. The meal schedule is also very irregular and inhumane. For example, breakfast is served around 6 a.m., but lunch may not be served until 5 p.m., and dinner as late as 8 p.m. This goes against the standard meal schedule that inmates should receive. In addition, I've encountered serious unprofessional behavior from staff, including being hung up on when calling administrative offices and receiving rude or dismissive treatment when trying to ask about inmate services. The people who work here are truly miserable and it'd be nice if there were some people who actually have empathy and patience to work here. There also seems to be a lack of fairness and transparency in how certain processes are handled -- for example, requests related to marriage or paperwork are denied for questionable reasons, such as claims about missing immigration stamps that have nothing to do with the marriage process. On top of that, they are very disorganized and you will get different information depending on who you ask. All the staff is NOT on the same page. Corporal Tinsley is an inconsiderate power hungry individual who is racist and not willing to accommodate or help out certain individuals with unique circumstances. Overall, the system feels broken, unaccountable, and deeply unprofessional. Orange County Jail needs oversight, accountability, and proper staff training to ensure inmates and their loved ones are treated with basic dignity and respect.

There are about 100 visitation booths but usually only 15 visitors using them. However, we were seated directly in-between visitors while the remaining visitors were spread out, so we asked to be moved. The person who overseas seating and the guard became very unpleasant when we asked to be moved. Now, every time we visit we always get seated in the same area, sometimes the exact same booth, with other visitors directly next to us while the other visitors are spread out with no one near them. The staff claims the seating is picked randomly by a computer. However, we realize they are purposely seating us this way to be vindictive. We find the visitation staff very unprofessional and petty.

You can seriously tell that several of the officers actually get off on making other peoples' lives as miserable as they can. When I was arrested for drinking in public in the city Los Angeles, the cops were actually all just like regular human beings. I mean yeah it was jail and it's no fun but they were normal people and treated me like a human. Small town cops man... they don't deal with any major crimes so they end up being the pathetic cops that make all other great cops look bad. Usually I'm glad the cops are there in case I ever need them but, in Englewood, you really don't have to worry about your safety much anyway. Most of these cops never been shot at in their lives. Maybe try getting a job in a city so you actually save lives not just irritate them. Good day

It was a nice touch to have a person assist you after going through security. She walked me to the computer kiosk and assisted. There are 30 or so service windows divided by category. My number was called but they then asked me to go back to the kiosk for a different category. The woman at window four seemed 'bothered' to find solutions in helping me. A very rude coworker stood behind her meddling in my business while working on something shaking her head no and mumbling "no." They are there to serve the public and find solutions since they are trained and the public is not familiar with the processes and options. The woman said I needed to hire an attorney to get the records. No, not an option. I am not paying to get records I can get myself. They were not helpful and unwilling to do their job. I went back to the kiosk a third time and went back to a different rep in the first category, records. I was called immediately. The man at window 29 was SO HELPFUL. He asked questions and even asked a manager for guidance. He filled out papers for a record search and said the archives would work on it and I would be contacted. I received a call within a couple of hours. She had questions and was researching. Received two more calls from the nice lady as she was broadening her search. She called me a fourth time and found the records. I thanked her profusely on the phone. She replied, "it is my job to serve our customers." That is a public servant. This woman and the nice man are what is right with the staff on the ground floor, Room 101. Tax dollars well spent. Heading in today to pick up my papers, WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY ON AN ATTORNEY.
