But I really wanted to see Folsom and while on the way to Folsom Lake State Recreation Area with friends, we noticed a sign for the Folsom Prison Museum. Naturally, curiosity won out and we took a much desired detour. Despite having checked online and learning the museum is closed for the foreseeable future (likely budget related), we still decided to drive onto the prison campus anyway to at least see the outside. Mission accomplished! Not only did we find the museum and snap a bunch of fun photos but we also ended up meeting two of the friendliest prison guards imaginable (please note: they're also the only prison guards I've ever met, but still!). They generously took the time to share stories about the prison's history, current conditions, and even fun trivia like the fact that all California license plates are made here at Folsom. Incredible! Oh! I also got a Junior Correctional Officer sticker, how fun!!! Their kindness and willingness to chat really made the stop worthwhile, even without stepping inside the museum. Which, by the way, the museum is the old warden's residence! While I'd love to return if the museum ever reopens, I'll definitely pass on the chance to spend a night here as an official guest. Still, for a quick, quirky, and historic stop, Folsom Prison delivered.

But now years later, I've been trying without any luck to mail a letter hoping to lift an old friends spirits, maybe buy them a snack or two. Not sure what's going on, like perhaps there's an unofficial rule to ex nay any former inmates attempting to write anyone in the Placer Co. Correctional Facilities? Just a thought! Has anyone else had such a hard time getting a letter through? Protocol now is they photocopy all mail and give the inmates copies as a way of curtailing drug flow through the mail system. There are no gang relations. A dark blue pen IS NOT A MARKER! Their latest reason for returning my mail. I'm not giving up; I'm writing the Jail Commander next. Just wondering if anyone else has suffered such nonsense? There is power in numbers. If mail is being copied by Secures Inc., why the pettiness? Corrections should be encouraging ties to the community for incarcerated individuals. Just wanting to voice my sentiments and pray that somehow such nonsense be noticed by the higher-ups. And then they make the needed corrections in their own division. Thanks for listening!

Officer Seerena and Medical nurse Ellie. I thank you very much. Your piers and supervisors should recognize you both as Role models with self respect and ethics. Thank you for all you did to help me through the toughest time in my life and my time in custody.

I was exiting quick due to an aggressive male Hispanic with face tats. I had been staying with the The Sawyer and desperately in need of Juul products. I was nostalgic about old Davis because I recognized it immediately as Molly's Jazz festival thing that I had brought my grandmother to years ago. I was taking a photo of a single woman's shoe and concerned she had been dragged off, raped, murdered etc.... Yes. I might have some PTSD. Pretty sure we all do now She understood my clear instructions and I told her to pop around and check out this guy that popped out on me from the bathroom. He was very aggressive saying he was stranded etc... wanted money. Phone charger... Anything to get close. Perhaps a woman just threw her shoes like I do when I'm sick of wearing ill fitting foot wear. That's me. But I have zero patience anymore. Just ask the fantastic crew working over at Kimpton. I can't believe that almost everyone I meet is faring so much better than I am. Truth be told, we all put on a brave face. It's unacceptable that I was spewing trauma inflicted by others on innocent people. We are all the same. We are all one.

It's a shame victims are blamed for things that happened to them. I have the utmost respect for law enforcement but this situation, left a mf bad taste in my mouth.

I've always thought there was so much drama in this building that the drama probably held the building together and if those walls could talk, they would definitely have a lot to talk about. Working in law-enforcement as a civilian for almost 40 years I referred so many people that I can't even count to this courthouse. I came here recently to support a friend who was going to have a hearing for a restraining order and it was the first time I myself ever came to this courthouse. I have to say they run a tight ship and the experience with eye-opening and the judge that was hearing the case was very professional and very polite. The courthouse was very nice and it wasn't as packed as I thought it would be, but we were there in the early morning. My advice to anyone who unfortunately has to visit here is get here early because the parking lot looks like it can fill up pretty fast! Anyone needing a disabled spot they have some right in front of the doors and if you need that, also get here early cause I'm sure they fill up pretty fast too.

As far as divorce goes, I don't recommend it. This is Not a place of an entertainment or anywhere special will you pick up a hamburger or a pizza slice. This is Divorce Court, Homie.

The employee's attitudes were appropriate towards me. The check-in security felt exactly how you imagine it, which is a bit uncomfortable to have to empty out your pockets in purses and hold your belt buckles. I will say that this place will do exactly what you're coming here to do.

NOTE: They WILL NOT accept documents with notary errors! -- There was a gentleman from Berkeley in line with me who had to get his document re-notarized locally as his previous one had an error. -- I had two notarized POA documents (just in case!). My paranoia saved us as my wife wasn't with me and we could not have done a local re-notarization, and my trip to Sacramento would have been wasted! -- They do not look at what's in the document being notarized as that's what the notary is expected to verify.

    Background Checks, Rapbacks and Sex Offender Registry - DOJ Hits It On All Pistons…read more SITREP My job functions as an investigator trainer or legal policy research project coordinator involves working with the California Department of Justice (DOJ). SETUP Among the many sections in the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) where I work, there is the Caregiver Background Check Bureau (CBCB). In this section, we manage background check process for licensed caregivers, their employees, specified volunteers and non-client adults residing in a facility. CBCB Functions Individuals who want to work in Community Care Licensed facilities will submit their fingerprints to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) via livescan - a digital hand-scanning process. All licensing categories (Adult Care, Child Care, Elderly, etc.) require a California Criminal History and a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) check. If an individual is associated to any facility serving children then a Child Abuse Central Index (CACI) check is also performed. So bottomline: before individual can obtain a community care license, provide services, work or reside in any of our licensed-facilities, they must receive a criminal record clearance or an exemption from the clearance provisions governed by statutes, regulations and CCLD's own internal policies. TRUSTLINE Trustline is a service the State of California provides to parents and family members who want to know if a potential caregiver for their child or disabled relative has a criminal background. These are situations where they have chosen not to use licensed care but still want their nanny, IHSS provider, etc fingerprinted and cleared through DOJ and CCL. If they are cleared the name is put on a Trustline Registry. So again - as in licensed care - in these exempt-care scenarios, if they have a criminal history such that no clearance is granted then the agencies that maintain a Trustline Registry for child care and/or the local entities that administer employment clearances for IHSS workers are notified. LEGISLATIVE & REGULATORY INITIATIVES DOJ is a significant partner in my own work interests and those of my department in meeting the public demands and the resulting legislative mandates that upgrade and enhance the background check process. Their expertise and guidance in the criminal background check process is critical to our own department's success, and for that I am grateful. THE LOWDOWN The DOJ provides us with the critical background information we need to make sure that the facilities we license and the people that work their will protect the health & safety of clients in care, and not themselves pose harm to those clients.

    KNOWLEDGE is…read more POWER!!! Sex Offenders are Scum in my eyes. Did you know that a very, very, very small percentage of that scum is actually successfully rehabilitated? Yes, sadly, many repeat offenders who ruin people's lives. With all my heart, I urge parents especially and all adults to visit Megan's law web site. It is directly affiliated with the CA General Attorney's office. Simply read the terms of use, check the box and begin your search for scummy perverts in your area. You just might be living right next door to one. Seriously. There are many search options: My first search was done by address; typed in my address to see if scum lives near my family. Yup...got scum living in my neighborhood; good to know. * * * Keep in mind, scum often looks like the average person. As my young adult daughter and her friends said when seeing scum photos: "They look so normal." That simply goes to show that you simply never know who the scum is...be alert. Other avenues offered to do searches include: By: Zip Code County and Near Parks and Schools A map is shown on the computer screen. Click on the blue spots and the offender's photo, exact address, physical stats AND crime appear. Yay- knowledge IS power! The site also hosts a wealth of information: * Facts and Myths about the scum * What you can to protect your children * Sex Offender Registration and Exclusion Information Interesting, as noted via the site, about 25% of the scum is excluded from being posted on the site due to the nature of their sexual offense. ...Too bad, because I feel any sexual crime is noteworthy. Sexual Scumbags Ruin Lives. Protect our little angels. Please visit this site and tell your family, friends and neighbors to do so. * * * Beware of this too...PLEASE do your homework before sending your children to businesses/programs that cater to children such as Martial Arts, Gymnastics, etc. Sadly, many predators choose those professions for a reason. I am not saying they all do by any means, yet some do ...fact. A very sad and disturbing fact.

It is even rarer for me to say that I actually believe what this politician has to say since I tend to be such a skeptic. However, California - and we citizens - would be a lot worse off if it had not been for the business acumen of John Chiang to keep in check the reckless politics of former Governor Arnold Scharzenegger. INTO THE FIRE I first really became aware of Chiang in July 2008, Schwarzenegger was gonna "slash the pay of more than 200,000 state workers to the federal minimum of $6.55 per hour," among other measures, due to a lack of an approved state budget. However, I believe Chiang was dead-on in calling Schwarzenegger's idea "a poorly devised strategy to put pressure on the Legislature to enact a budget" and stated that he would continue to pay state workers their full salaries. (July 24, 2008 SF Chronicle. GOVERNATOR-PROOF In the end, Chiang (one of the few constitutional elected officers in California that the Governor could NOT fire) stood up to Schwarznegger, demonstrating that he in fact had both constitutional and statutory authority to continue payments and that Schwarzenegger was trying to make Chiang do something illegal. THE LOWDOWN John Chiang for Governor (someday, hopefully!)
