My human rights were violated when I was an employee with Eby-Brown. I was terminated, their reason…read morelisted was misconduct/ insubordination. My question is, since when asking to go use the bathroom/ restroom to relieve themselves, it's the law for employees to receive at least two 15 minute breaks when working more than 6 hours. I never received a first break and was approaching lockout for me to take a lunch. I was still actively on lunch when I asked to go use the restroom and was denied the right to go. How is this not a violation of human rights? How am I denied my employment benefits because of this? I forgot to mention prior to me needing these benefits unemployment paid out a fraudulent claim under my name where I had to go through extreme lengths just to verify my identity!! AGAIN HOW AM I DENIED BENEFITS?! ESPECIALLY WHEN THE EMPLOYER DIDN'T SHOW UP TO THE HEARING?!

You simply walk on in after paying to park because the officers get the free parking. The officers here treated me like a dumb criminal. I'm just a simple man that wanted to visit family. The video calls had bad sound and video quality. I didn't even get a full 30 minutes. Just 22! Make sure your family/friends don't get locked up here because I wouldn't want to come back here.

Let's face it…read more Nobody likes going to jail. Well... if you're married to someone who makes your life a living hell every waking moment and you're worried about them pouring gasoline on you while you sleep and lighting you up... jail can seem peaceful and safe. I spent around 47 hours and 13 minutes in the Will County Adult Detention Facility so I feel qualified to offer you a review of this government institution. Like everyone else I was there because I was framed. Unfortunately I was 'framed' on a holiday where the courts were closed and the jail was filled to over capacity and it would be almost two days before I could see the judge to get my sorry ass bonded out of there. I've never been in any other jail so it's hard to compare this facility to any of the other penal institutions you may be familiar with. I've been in a few police lockups but that really doesn't count. When you get your dumbass thrown in jail the police officer who arrested you drives you to 'The Big House' and the arresting officer watches them 'book you in.' It's not a whole bunch of fun and they really search you very well. Don't try to hide your nicotine gum or they'll find it and then you're off to a body cavity search with more than likely a very big and insensitive guard who you probably really don't want probing you in those places anyway. They take all your stuff... including your clothes and they put it in this machine and shrink wrap it so you can get it if you're lucky enough to leave. The guards there seem like they want to bust your head for any infraction and there's all kindsa rules you better learn really quickly. After a bunch of paperwork they take you to the nurse and she gives you about four or five vaccinations. They probably won't tell you what they are but by the third one they heard my objection to these vaccinations on the grounds of 'religious exemption' and quit sticking me with needles... although the guard informed the nurse that he'd be more than happy to 'tune me up' into compliance for the nurse. Since I am a federal informant who blew the whistle on some serious government corruption I was given my very own cell. It had a concrete bench to sleep on... and fluorescent lights that were never turned off. The toilet was right in the middle and it was made out of stainless steel with no seat and if you used it everyone could watch. That was kinda weird. The food there really sucked... it was cold... not appetizing at all and the purple cool aid was devoid of any sugar since the guys in the kitchen steal all of the sugar to make 'hootch' in their cells... a primitive fermented beverage that anyone who has spent any time in the 'Big House' is familiar with. As this was my very first time experiencing the life of an inmate you can bet I was scared and nervous. The guards could care less and they wouldn't even answer any questions. They give you an orange jumpsuit to wear in addition to underwear and socks that someone else wore.. kinda creepy really. Many of the people who go to jail are innocent and the statistics prove that... but the guards still treat everyone like shit and it's a really dehumanizing experience. I hope you never go through it... unless you deserve it... but you still have my sympathies because losing your freedom and being in jail sucks big time. Especially if you're there for no reason. It's still gonna cost you a lot of money to prove you didn't deserve to be there and if you do that... after spending thousands of dollars and going through all of that you wont even get an apology. I hope this is the last review that I do of any penal institution and I hope you never have to make use of it. Even after I went in front of the judge and I was bonded out it took like fourteen hours before they released me... and they threw me outta the joint at three O'clock in the morning. I didn't wanna bother anyone for a ride at that time so I went to the train station and I partied with a bunch of homeless drunks until five when the trains started running. I didn't care that these guys were bums or that the smell of urine wafted on the breeze as we knocked back some Mad Dog 20/20 from a brown paper bag... I was free and that freedom was so sweet.

The staff are exceptional, friendly and go above and beyond to help you with anything -- if they don't have it, they do everything they can to get it for you! They offer tons of special get-together from book clubs to tot-reading meeting groups. They have this thick reference binder with lists of "Like" authors that I've never seen before -- for example, if you love to read books by John Grisham -- you like his style, but you've already read everything he wrote, the reference binder they have up at the front desk (You'll have to ask) has a list of authors that write similarly (either topic or style) to John Grisham (or any other MANY MANY MANY authors). If you are like me and often wish for a place to just "get away" from your home, kids, or husband (but can't afford to run off and hide in Jamaica), then come hide out here! Since it's a library which requires the ambiance must be quiet and peaceful, you have the perfect excuse as to why you didn't answer your cell phone ;-)
