They will point you to the wrong direction. THEY DO NOT HELP!!! I was sent on a wild goose chase. DO NOT COME HERE FOR INFORMATION. THEYRE ABOUT AS SMART AS A PILE OF BRICKS. Unless you have a question about traffic or criminal court cases they'll just send you to the wrong department. They pointed me to the Clerk-Recorder's office and those poor people were as confused as I was when I asked for my divorce decree. Those kind people at the Clerk-Recorder's office told me the correct place to go and that the Dublin Court House just dumps everyone with any questions at the Clerk-Recorder's office which is really embarrassing on the Court's part. THIS COURTHOUSE IS GIVING OUT WRONG INFORMATION!!! They literally gave me a flier with wrong information. Your tax dollars at work being stupid.

A deeply disturbing experience. The conditions and treatment at Santa Rita Jail raised serious…read moreconcerns about basic human rights and public accountability. As a detainee, I expected due process and humane treatment--even if the arrest was in dispute. Instead, I encountered what felt like an environment of intimidation and neglect. My legal rights were ignored. Despite multiple requests to contact an attorney, I was repeatedly dismissed and mocked by staff. It was something clearly protected by California Law, but violated by the police. During my time there, I witnessed alarming neglect. One person in a nearby cell was violently ill all night without medical attention. Another appeared to be in distress after being physically mistreated. The overall facility was unsanitary--bodily fluids - poops, blood, vomit, pees, visibly present on benches and walls, everywhere. Not to mention the horrible smell. When I asked to be moved to a cleaner space, I was ridiculed again. I share this not out of anger, but because no one--regardless of the circumstances of their arrest--should be treated this way. We rely on our public institutions to uphold dignity and law, not degrade it. I hope speaking up encourages accountability, reform, and a safer environment for all.

They both told me they would love to hear they did something good for someone. This is how the conversation went: He answered. I said, "Dr, Marek?" "Who is calling?" "Dawn Lawson." "This is the CREEPIEST thing that has ever happened to me," he said. "Excuse me?" "Did I stutter?" he said. "What do you mean creepy?" "Miss Lawson. I did not respond to your letter. I did not respond to your email. Do not EVER, in ANY way, EVER try to get in touch with me again." I said, "I'm sorry," and hung up. So -- I just realized I don't even know what to say about this. I'll bet the art teacher would love to hear from me. Henry gave me color. I will always be grateful for that. Some people who work in corrections believe that once a person is an inmate, they should lose the privilege of ever believing themselves to be a human being, for good. I wrote a book called How to Rob a Bank in Drag (not really a how-to -- don't get all excited) and used his real name. My editor said "What would he sue you for? What part would he say is not true? He's not a creep?"

How do you rate a prison? Not sure but I am sure that the rating depends on which side of the…read morebars your on. This facility has three components. A women's prison, mens prison, and a minimal security women's camp. To see the women's prison, visitors enter through the front door, check in, and go through the metal detector. A visitation room is just on the right and you can visit a good part of the day. For the visitors though, this is as far as you go. For the prisoners, they pass the control room and enter what looks like a junior college campus. Many buildings spread out with open space. Just to the right is the chapel that serves all denominations. Just beyond that is a gym where the women take a variety of classes such as spinning or Zumba. It also has pottery workshop, a library, and a knitting/sewing room. There is also weight lifting available. An outdoor rec area includes tennis courts and a track. Beyond that are the main dorms. These are small rooms with 3 bunks. No bars on these rooms just a solid wooden door. No doors on the sink and toilet. Each of the dorms has television, an open area, and email access. There are also communal washing machines. There are opportunities for work. Kitchen, grounds, maintenance or a Unicor telephone facility. In this case, the women answer phones to handle magazine subscriptions. Pay is minimal and they can spend it at the commissary. For those with disciplinary problems, you get put into the SHU. This is a separate building where you are in isolation. You can get into a 10x30' fenced pen an hour a day five days a week. Otherwise you stay in your cell. Food is brought to you. The cells do have showers which you can use 3 x a week. There was a building for education classes. The women are required to work towards a GED. Some make it some don't. The grounds are open and plenty of space to walk around. The geese were all over the place and there were at least two resident cats. Don't try getting out though. A tall fence with electronic monitors and 11 strands of razor sharp barbed wire prevent that. I must admit that the facilities were better than expected. But not a place anyone wants to spend time at.

I was here recently for the St Patrick's Day Festival, seemed like the whole city showed up for that. I've also been to the Regal Hacienda Shopping Plaza numerous times during the holidays. Emerald Glen Park and the trail that runs through that area is a good place to run, except in the summer time, because Dublin does heat up for real during that time. You also have the two neighboring Cities, San Ramon and Pleasanton, very close by. If you're looking for nightlife, this isn't the place for you, this city is more family oriented!!

I was greeted by receptionist (no smiles just a "hello" and asked to take a seat (we arrived 30 min early to our appointment). A few minutes later the passport processor called us into her office. No greetings, just looked at me through the glass & I guess assumed I'd just know to give her all the paperwork. I did. She looked at all of it, started the process & was silent.. except when she had a few short questions. It was extremely awkward & it felt like going to DMV where they're not necessarily mean but not at all friendly. NOTE: THEY DO NOT TAKE PASSPORT PICS HERE.

After living in San Ramon for almost 9 years, I was fairly unimpressed with the old City Hall digs in a nearby business park and was very happy to hear that my well-run city was going to get itself a new place to call home. So, how did it turn out? Well, I think it's beautiful! I love the rotunda (the round portion of the building with lots of glass and a shiny floor), it's grandiose and a perfect showpiece for the city. It's clear that the building was built using the latest in environmental and technological bells 'n whistles, which add to it's splendor. I happened to visit the NEW city hall for a trip to their passport office and was very pleased with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Congrats San Ramon, you've successfully built yourself something to be proud of - a lovely new City Hall. 5 stars.

Cut and pasted from the internet: "Pleasanton" was chosen as…read morethe town's name in the 1860s by John W. Kottinger, an Alameda County justice of the peace, who named it after his friend, Union army cavalry Major General Alfred Pleasonton." Quality/Quantity - We are fairly consistent customers to this city. Mainly to eat and drink and of course, our annual County Fair visits. See all other reviews. If you are following, with the exception of the Apple store in Pleasanton, all my other reviews in this city are 4-5 stars!! Hence the city's overall rating of 4 stars! Cut and pasted from the internet: "In 2005 and 2007, Pleasanton was ranked the wealthiest middle-sized city in the United States by the Census Bureau." Atmosphere - 24.3 square miles, 0.15 of which is water. Population of 80k (2020 Census). Service - Good, as per the above, they cater to the wealthy so service has to reflect that. I aspire to be one of them one of these days, lol. Price - Above average, but NOT unreasonable.
