These men may have made mistakes but they don't deserve to be treated worst than dogs at an animal shelter! If my loved one dies because of their negligence, they are going to be sued! I've had to call multiple times with my loved one in pain because they are not taking him meds. I've had to call multiple times because some punk guard wouldn't take them toilet paper ALL DAY!!

If I could give a 0 it would be too much praise for this group. No one seems to know anything…read more 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.

My mother took a fall here on approximately 12/1/23 in her cell after the shower shoes she was…read moregiven 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.

Hello, first yelp reviewer here. I think often about the experience I had at this Richmond dmv…read morelocation and thought I might share if it helps even one person avoid a similar situation. I made the mistake of not making an appointment and was there to apply for a new ID in total for a minimum of 6 hours. I wouldn't still be bitter about this over a year later, but thanks to the red headed woman with a (Russian?) accent who took and accepted the very first rushed photo that I WAS MID BLINK, I now have to explain this very lovely experience to every single person I show my drivers license to. People literally bust out laughing when I show them and insist I go retake my photo. I'm so irritated because I had to, by law, go in person to apply for the real ID but my id is also expiring pretty soon so thanks to this incredible awesome and talented patient woman I have to take another photo only a year later. I wish I was being overdramatic I truly do, but it looks like a mugshot or that I'm on drugs??? Please fire this woman. I don't even live in the area anymore but I still think about this lady with frustration because she couldn't have taken one more minute to ensure there wasn't hair in my face/eyes and that I wasn't BLINKING. I attached a cropped picture to protect my identity but I had to show how bad it is. Thanks for reading. To the red headed woman with a (Russian?) accent, find peace, patience, and a new profession. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Glue your eyelids open if you have to. Anything is better than sitting in a dirty dmv waiting room among sick people who don't understand personal space. Rant over, so grateful I never have to come back here.

A few colleagues told me to avoid some of the southern food, like the corn bread, as it is intermittently laced with ex-lax. The prison hooch is meh, the floaties are tasteless, and is overpriced at 1 strip of postage stamps. Much prefer the delectable margaritas served in Seychelles, or the hard-charging vodka that is available in much of mother Russia The VIP prisoner section is the way to go (no roomies!). No dual ankle bracelets required AND they send a guard past the cell every 15 minutes because they like us so much. There are spectacular artists on my cell block! I'm considering a Richard Nixon tattoo for my lower back, spades on my ankle, and/or the border outline of Ukraine to help obfuscate the blemishes on my groin. This resort offers so much self-improvement: I've taken up the yoga, mindful meditation, green tea enemas, and am happily gluten free for 16 hours and counting! Cons: -there is a lingering odor that doesn't seem to go away. The smell could be that my mentally ill friend Roger, has feces-flinging-fits. And they are not often cleaned up -mobile phone use costs 3 cans of tuna, which is overpriced as there is no WhatsApp on the flip phone -the library has a pitiful selection similar to that rural Alabama town Sessions took me to once: they are missing the Reagan-era National Reviews, and they don't carry Foreign Policy magazine, at all
