    Everything it's a shithole but then again it's a jail for the most part the guards were pretty decent as long as it was their way

    Nothing great can be said about the prison and staff. Well, the check out process is pretty easy,…read moreI've heard....

    What a great prison, this place was sweet! Out of all my stops at different county jails, Chester…read moreCounty Prison certainly takes the cake! Not once during my stay did I fear for the virginity of my anus. Were talking two gyms, contact visits, cable T.V's in every cell and a sweet ass commissary. I'm not even kidding when I say you could get a big bag of potato chips for $2.00! Many of the cells offer beautiful views of the surrounding scenic country side, which is famous for it's horse farms. Don't get your hopes up though as these premium cells are in high demand and there is usually a waiting list. Nothing is perfect I guess.. up until recently we were able to smoke cigarettes and crack the windows open. As far as food, meh, I have experienced better. However, the head chef Darin really made magic with what he had to work with. I really hope he is still there because he did a really great job serving up the food. If I know Darin, he might just still be. The Darin I knew never did like paying his child support. Oh, I almost forgot! During my stay the commissary was selling muscle shirts with a cartoon rendering of a prisoner being held down by a ball and chain. These were not only hilarious but they are sure to make really great gifts and souvenirs as well!!

    An amazing experience in Philidelphia that should not be missed. There's a ton to see here along…read morewith some great and informative tours. We learned a lot about one of the world's first modern prison systems and it's legacy and effects on the world. The tour guides and docents were fantastic and have a lot of knowledge and stories to share. The audio tour was great especially hearing literally from former guards and inmates it's very interesting. There is a lot to see here so plan accordingly! There is nearby street parking available and parking lots as well I'm sure. You can book tickets and experiences in advance to make sure you are able to attend. Our tour guide Sammy was especially great and had a passion for the history of this place. Definitely would visit again and must visit when here in the city!

    We saw this was one of the top rated attractions in the Philly area so we visited on a Monday…read moremorning (it's closed on Tuesdays). With our reciprocal museum membership we got free admission. We opted for the self guided tour with their audio headsets. The guide is very informative and if you listened to all of the recording it is 4 hours long! We did the main tour and listed to a few extras. We were there a bit over one hour. Overall it was very interesting and we learned alot about not only this prison but life in this first of a kind place. The place is pretty creepy. It is great that a group has stepped up to save this important piece of history!

    If I could BCJ zero stars, I would. I personally did not spend anytime there, but someone I care…read moreabout deeply did. I'm not saying that person was perfect, but they didn't deserve the mistreatment & neglect. So many times they would call me saying how hungry they were because dinner was at 4:30 and it wasn't enough. I would hear about how COs would literally yell & punish inmates even if what the inmate did was an accident. They were out on meds that they told the jail don't help them. Visiting was terrible! I do not care what you might think about me, but when I come in and say hello, the proper way to address someone is to say hello back. The COs that I interacted with either were very rude & I guess they just don't know how to talk to people. While other male COs would make inappropriate & scary jokes that honestly made me wonder why they weren't locked up. (Literally had one tell me he could pin me to the ground if he wanted to). Being an outside walking in, everything was gross! The walls were chipping & the floors were nasty. Contacting your loved one inside is a joke! I was so confused because putting money on a tablet was different from commissary, & used two completely different apps. My messages would take literally anywhere between 5-10 days even though I was using a texting app. Hoping other inmates that are in there share their experiences when they get out. I would add more but it would be a book.

    Many inmates are told that they will be released on a certain day but end up stuck in for several…read moremore days not knowing why they aren't getting out. Correctional Officers job description is to sit behind a desk and do nothing. They will not answer questions and if they do they're incorrect. If you were not released please post
