If I could give a 0 it would be too much praise for this group. No one seems to know anything. Everyone tells you 30 mins, when they mean 4-6 hours. They have made it difficult to get a bonded individual out and bond was posted 5.5 hours ago. They made an excuse that they had a medical emergency and had to lock him back up, but that was 2 hours after bond and monitor in place. So that's crap. They have a guy here since yesterday (2pm) and here it is almost 7pm and they can't confirm if he is on a list to turn himself in or not. CLOWNS! Now...shift change is happening...so, now; he might get out in "30" minutes. Make that 45 min.. Now an hour and a half....We shall see.. People that are incarcerated have rights. When you violate those rights, you become the criminals. This is a sad excuse for police officers...slow, ignorant, uncaring. When you treat your inmates and their family like trash, you in turn become the trash. read more

My mother took a fall here on approximately 12/1/23 in her cell after the shower shoes she was given were to big. She let a man and a woman know about it and stayed in severe pain without any medical care given at all. Animals at the SPCA's are given better treatment than my 67 year old mother was given. She had to crawl to get her trays of food because of the pain and lost down to 114 lbs. It has been confirmed by Medical staff that she broke her back and has a scar on her back from falling on her back in her cell. Once again animals receive better medical treatment that a human being. read more

This jail is an absolute hell hole. It's all about paying for everything. You pay for phone calls, visits (the free ones are few and far between), room & board, to have your blood sugar checked, even a quarter for the locker to put your id in when you visit. The food is beyond belief. The potatoes aren't cooked right (ever). There is little more than 2 tablespoons of food per meal. There is always a piece of hard cornbread. I have never seen such a poorly run establishment. I have called and left messages. No One EVER calls back or answers their phone. If I could have given this place a MINUS "10" I would have.

I was there for 50 days and I had low expectations being In jail, but after talking to other inmates I realized how much things could've been prevented. There's mold everywhere, even in the "cleaning bottles." They never swap or clean the mops, so when I had to mop my poop covered cell floors, they put it back in the closet to be used the next time the main area was mopped. I was left in a cell with my cellmate, for 24 hours, when the toilet didn't work. It wasn't until I started acting crazy that they suddenly had time. And then I had to pick between three cells where the toilets still didn't work, and a former mentally I'll inmate had clogged all the toilets to where the floor and wall were covered in poop and poop covered rags. Which we had to clean. There's no cohesion between the rules applied between COs. So all of a sudden you'll be locked down or taken to the hole for something you were allowed to do your entire stay so far. NOTHING gets done for you unless you act crazy. You're ignored and shushed for everything. "Next shift, after med call, after lunch" and it'll be things like getting moved to a room that works! I got a bloody nose during my quarantine, and they took a whole set of clothes, and the rest of my stay I sent 5+ request forms to get a second pair and I was never given one. And so it was hard to clean and air dry them overnight bc the rooms are FREEZING 24/7 constant hard stream of cold air. And I can't send them to laundry bc I'd have to be locked down all day for not having clothes. And I got told I'd go to the hole if I got up for breakfast again without my top shirt. So I'd have to wear freezing wet clothes. They're supposed to provide new underwear every 6 months, but my cellmate was denied them bc "she orders packages so why not buy them." The longjohns I was given were covered in layers and layers of dirt and blood. I know jail food has a bad reputation, and people don't think inmates deserve good food. But this jail is known for having exceptionally horrible food, and I agree. The same "ham" is given every meal almost just cut in different shapes. There's hair in everything. There's never any seasoning or fresh vegetables or fruit. The vegetables you get are a couple of boiled carrots or green beans. The portions are that of a child, and nothing about the meal has any substance so you're not full right after eating. Plain brown rice, plain beans, five at most boiled carrots, and a piece of corn bread. Their are standards for jails that they legally have to meet, and it's not happening. Apparently they're supposed to provide medical assistance during withdrawl, but they don't! I got told I was fine, and for five days before I gave up, I was told they'd help me with diarrhea and to keep it in my toilet until the next check. No one ever checked it, I was extremely dehydrated and starving, and was basically living in diarrhea air just waiting for someone to come. I saw three women have seizures from alcohol withdrawl while I was there. The water is in no way clean, I got water bumps all over my body just from showering, and it's just dirty in general. The Cos constantly antagonize you, taking away your free time just bc they can. Many people have heard them joke about how they thought a code was supposed to be called at 3:15 but the person had forgotten to. They purposely fake codes within 30-45 min of when we'd go in anyways, so by the time it gets "called off" we couldn't go out anyways. When the trainees went away to their 10 week course, there was a week where we didn't leave our room once, but there were three COs doing checks during every shift. There's only three areas that need a guard, so there was no reason for it. It's just a bunch of lazy people who don't want to be there. Being in there is hard enough, there's no reason why people should be able to abuse their power for their own power trip and satisfaction. There's so many laws being broken but they know the people being abused are broke and can't do anything about it. read more

My husband is in that sorry ass jail. He has had to have medical attention. He has a nasty cold and they would not see him after he put in a medical request form. He also has a bad tooth that they will not get fixed for him. He calls my tonight and informed me they have not had there dinner yet. The inmates are not safe in the co custody. A co the other day called my husband the N word. This jail needs to be shut down. read more

When I was there they use to treat image like trash they treated me like I was trash and I was a C.O I tried to help inmates when they was locked down for for the whole day I would get ice or warm they food up and I would get pulled in the office and they would ask me why did I pass them they food through the tray slot or why did I warm their food up I said if u locked in the cage like a animal wouldn't you then they wrote me up for warming it up then they said I was getting to close to the inmates but I'm realization im just having a conversation about football and life in general this jail is you either do it their way and click up with them and be an asshole towards inmates or they fire you and write you up for little things like it comes from the upper management down they are poor when it come to training then for new people they throw you in maximum pods with maximum and medium inmates they set you up for failure in that jail I tried to keep my head down do my job go home oh let me not forget about how they don't let them wash up to take a shower either it's the worst jail to be in avoid everything there read more

SUMMARY: Even for a jail, this place sucks. It's technically 18 and 6 (inmates are locked in their cells for 18 hours per day) but it's actually worse than that 'cause they'll take any excuse to not give pods their rec time, so inmates are actually usually locked down for anywhere between 20-24 hours per day. The food is trash and ridiculously under-portioned. Most of the meals consist of a scoop of some barely edible hamburger helper type concoction, a piece of bread and a tiny scoop of vegetables. Speaking of vegetables, the green beans usually have hard stems that you better hope don't injure your teeth 'cause the medical care situation at RRJ leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of actual care and urgency. You'd think since the type of food that fills the menu is extremely low budget that that would at least mean decent portioning but nothing could be further from the truth. None of the food ever hits the corners of the already small tray sections and it is common practice for inmates to supplement each "meal" with a Top Ramen or something else purchased off commissary (by the way Top Ramens are like 85 or 90 cents each lol) and you better not let a C.O. (corrections officer) catch you kindly giving any uneaten portion of your tray to some food-starved inmate 'cause then you'll be punished for "passing contraband" even though what you're really doing is just trying to look out for someone who is literally starving. Which brings me to the next thing that sucks about RRJ: The C.O.s at RRJ are, for lack of a more fitting word, dumb. Now, I've only been to three jails but the C.O.s at RRJ are of noticeably lower I.Q. than those of the other couple of jails I had the misfortune of staying at. There are a few exceptions (shouts out to Boyette, Eastwood, G and D) but the vast majority have no common sense and thus do everything 100% strictly by the book. This means that literally anything and everything is considered "contraband" by most of the C.O.s. Not gonna eat your bread and wanna give it to your emaciated friend? Whoa, not so fast pal: that bread belongs in the trash unless you wanna catch a charge! Also, I have to include the constant toilet paper crisis at RRJ. C.O.s hardly ever pass it out and to make matters worse, each inmate is not allowed to ever have more than two rolls...Okay, so you guys never wanna pass it out, but at the same time we're not allowed to save some up to have for the long periods of time in between it finally being passed out again? WTF??? This is what usually happens: you run out and wait for the C.O. on duty to make his rounds, when he/she passes your cell you knock on your window or say something to get his/her attention, he/she usually ignores you completely but IF he/she actually stops and asks what you want then you ask for toilet paper, at this point what will happen 99.7% of the time is the C.O. will say "I'll try to get some later" or some variation of that...What the Hell? You'll "try"? What's so hard about getting toilet paper? Now, obviously, what they mean is "Leave me alone, I don't wanna do anything today, or ever." Even if you keep bugging the same C.O. throughout his/her shift, all that will happen is that they'll keep saying "I'm working on it" or some equally stupid bullshit until their shift is over and they get to go home without ever having to have exerted the vast amounts of effort apparently needed to bring some toilet paper to the pod. I am not even exaggerating. One time, someone in the cell next to mine asked a C.O. who will not remain nameless (Ms/Mrs. Coleman) for some toilet paper during morning inspection, informing her that both he and his cellie had absolutely none in their cell. Her response was "Well, looks like you'll be using newspaper today!" and walked away from his cell laughing. And it wasn't just a joke either, she never brought any toilet paper on that day. Making matters even more annoying, my cellie and I could've helped our neighbors by giving them some toilet paper, as we had been successfully stockpiling it and had like 12 rolls at the time BUT Ms/Mrs. Coleman then proceeded to inspect our cell and that turned out to be one of those rare days where the C.O. actually inspects every nook and cranny and thus she found our "contraband" and took it all away from us except for 2 rolls apiece. The worst part: she didn't even give any of it to the cell next door that was all out of toilet paper! Like seriously, WTF is wrong with these people?! The only redeeming quality about RRJ is that the inmates generally find ways to look out for each other, out of necessity, since conditions as a whole are generally unbearable in every way imaginable. There are fights sometimes of course, but in general everyone gets along very well. FINAL GRADES: Daily Routine: D- C.O.s: F Inmates: B+ Food: F Medical: D read more
