There are fights and stabbings that occur and at times its like a walk in the park depending on your attitude. One time a couple of deputies slam me on the floor and stab my leg with something the other time after a fight I got stabbed which is posted in my Keck review that attention and riot squad came quickly. The food gets to became the norm so taste does matter after a while some is actually pretty good. If you have a inmate loved one it would be a good idea to send them store on Thursday so they would have a bite to eat. The hole is not a fun place!

OMG there is literally NOT enough stars in the Universe for this place!! I had the amazing life…read morealtering opportunity to stay here one night in 2004 . I checked myself into jail early with a court visit ,they got me booked and had me wait in a holding tank in Van nuys with a bunch of other ladies, while we waited to be bused downtown, they gave us a sugary orange drink, a package of peanut butter, jelly and some bread,its super weird we got this same thing for every meal,pretty sure there was a mix up in the kitchen but I didn't want to appear high maintenance by complaining , there was one woman eyeing my apple ,she asked for it so I gave it to her, great 15 minutes in the pokey and I'm already giving shit up!! There was a schizophrenic woman that washed her hands about 50 times within a 20 minute period, and another big chick who took such a fierce stanley steamer in the toilet the fumes almost singed my eyelashes off. Then we finally got on the bus to the TT . I sat next to a woman with pink eye,black roots, two gold teeth and breath that smelt like she just ate a shit sandwich for breakfast,unfortunately she wouldn't stop talking to me ,but this was interrupted by the gang bangers in the back making cat calls.(a word from my generation) When we got to the jail ,we were greeted with such positive vibes,so welcome and inspiring, female deputies telling you were to stand and go, let me just say you can tell right away that there is absolutely no abuse of power in this place or any corruption at all one would never get that feeling at all coming into this jail there's any post-traumatic stress or tension in here at all!! I was thrown into a tank and I had to go to the bathroom , the nice guys throwing gang signs across the hall could see me , they were pounding on the glass and cheering me on at this time I really wanted to cry I felt such love and support some were even grabbing their crotch to show me they knew what I was going through ,we all waited in a room to be processed and we watched a few episodes of cops. In this female section there was a bevy of different women from all walks of life there was the hardcore prison women and then there were the ostentatious track-hoes in flashy clothing. If I was to name this movie it would be "The Bunny Ranch meets Alcatraz". I met some friends from Chow chilla prison that were down there to see the judge ,yup I was forming my squad /my crew, my posse. We were the spiritual crew talking about higher powers and Abraham Hicks,The Secret .I was feeling my wings and independence at this point . We all got thrown in another tank ,then sent off for a shower ,we all got to pick a pretty little scented soap and took a 3 minute freezing shower after the shower we all got a pretty orange Ivanka Trump jump suit and white flats to wear... back in our tank a track hoe started masturbating in the corner under her coat and the Chow chilla ladies wanted to jump her for it ,after several more tanks upstairs we finally got our bedding 1000 thread count Laura Ashley sheets and a goose down feather bed,as the lights went out I dozed off to the lovely jail sounds of fighting , yelling and the track hoe masturbating off in the distance a few beds away,but before you know it my name was called and I started back down the slope to exit this happy place. Bye the time I got to check out they told me I never checked in $80.00 but theres no way these honest , deputies would ever lie to a inmate or do anything dirty so I second guessed my self and asked again anyways , ironically enough they found it . I stepped outside and it was about 6:30 am the next day, the sky was breaking and I walked down to Denny's for a grand slam Breakfast! I recommend you visit here at least one night in your life.You wont want to leave.

There is the Twin Towers the public sees, and then there is the Twin Towers families experience…read more Cold. Isolating. Terrifying. Even scheduling a visit feels like a battle--the outdated, glitchy website makes it incredibly difficult just to see your loved one. It left me feeling like families are kept at a distance instead of being encouraged to stay connected. My loved one went five days without prescribed psychiatric medication until he suffered a seizure, and by the time I saw him two weeks later, I barely recognized him. No family should have to experience that. If your loved one is there, document everything, keep calling, and never stop advocating for them. This was our experience, and people deserve to know there is another side to Twin Towers. They make everything so difficult when it comes to families supporting their loved ones.

Must say I was pretty unenthused about the whole process of visitation at this location …read more... recently found out my best friend was incarcerated at this facility and let me just say I put off the visit for a week or two, due to my experience of sheer hell , total waste of time and un due stress and anger id have every week twice a week from December 2012-January 2014 and again late 2016 to mid 2017. Happy to say this time was a vast improvement! Kudos to the Staff , which was courteous and prompt, and no long lines. Besides the bucket in middle of waiting room collecting the roof leak, it seemed way cleaner. Can't vouch for the bathroom which was always just horrifying! Line moved smoothly, officers weren't standing around shooting the shit and ignoring us and letting the line build....or didn't flirt with the hood rats or talk shit or be extra with each individual...... Names called pretty promptly.... actually called within 15 minutes of checking in.... I used to fall asleep waiting for my ex boyfriends name to be called. The major problems back when was the officers always without fail would make some snarky remark or be on some enormous power trip and loved playing god with your visits. Guess al the complaints really prompted some customer service skills or on a more realistic way of putting things, the county decided to place the old officers whom were void of any human emotions somewhere that didn't involve the general public... Also the lines and disorder of the visitation was just outrageous. Congrats on getting it together, Really makes our day go by smoothly, it's nice to not be punished for our loved ones mistakes lol! I will say that the rate for parking is pretty high.... while wayside offers free parking... this is why I gave you 4 stars.

When he got to the jail several LAPD and several sheriff's taunted him saying yeah we just wanted to get you here and harass you and pick on you that's right and we did that and ever since he been in there they have discluded him from phone calls they have discluded him from having visits they have ignored him during medical emergency which is medical neglect I told them he needs some water on at least 25 occasions when I talk to him he said he still haven't had any water yet you still haven't been transferred to a new unit with a water fountain he still haven't been outside for over a month for the activities that the inmates participate in he also haven't had no visits and he's not on disciplinary I have made at least 400 phone calls up there with no remedy they have falsely accused him of stealing a fake gold chain when his family have given him gold chains and purchase gold chains for him for his birthday this was all a scheme to Rob him of all of his accomplishments and Rob him of all of his name brand items and name brand shoes when I went to his apartment they stole 200 pairs of Nikes from him that he purchased with his own money and they stole at least 700 to 1,000 name brand clothing items from him that his family purchased for him his girlfriend gave to him he has a very huge family. Three different police divisions that included close to 59 officers did a third party robbery on him at his apartment when he was trying to get himself together and stay away from trouble and now he has nothing left he purchased the vehicle and the car had a lot of problems so I parked the car on my street and even the city of Los Angeles is involved I came back and they told his car so now he has absolutely nothing to come home to and they also made him homeless and then when I go to court every time I go to court I said what is he in here for their story has changed at least 10 times on the reason why he's in there they still have him in there right now I would love it if the community can help out and get my son released from this men's Central jail and help him get all of his items back his wardrobe that he saved for a long time his all of his name brand shoes and clothes his car that the city of Los Angeles stole and help him getting an apartment because this was all a setup with some jealous lapds that came together like they were a big gang​

In the past, I've gotten jury summons from Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, West L.A., LAX, and Torrance courts. As it turned out, this courthouse wasn't that bad. I got used to the 10-15 minute walk from Disney Concert Hall for free parking. The parking garage lines moved fast upon entering and exiting with workers scanning the jury badge for you. The court security line was never long and it moved fast. The Jury Assembly Room was pleasant and spacious. Restrooms were clean. The workers I encountered were nice and efficient. The worst part of this courthouse was definitely the elevators. Prepare to wait!!

In my place, all I will do (at least for now) is make stuffed Bell Peppers... a la the name, The Holy Bell Pepper! The road to being in good graces with your city runs through LA County, so why not take the free (albeit all day) course (and the actual final test) to get the paper trail going for free! About 18/20 with reservations showed up for the class, with the final test consisting of 90 questions with you being allowed to miss as many as 30 to get the ServSafe Manager certification. And guess what? I may have missed 29, but I know I did not miss 30! After some serious memorization and seeing things through the lens of a safety inspector as opposed to a cook (my initial and major problem in the first round), I was able to quickly pivot. And while I won't know for sure for another week or so, I feel fairly good about passing the ServSafe Manager certification course. Wish me luck!
