Unfortunately , it seems there is absolutely no organization , communication within the facility from one employee or department to the other.

We are not the criminals, we love our family members and want to be supportive for them but it's very hard on us when we are constantly picked on or harassed. These so called officers who have nothing more to do then say something about your clothes, jewelry, hair, watches or anything else that they want to pick on you about. They tell you what you can't wear and turn around and let another person go in with it on?? They are nasty and rude"God forbid you ask them a question'. We are constantly treated as inmates rather than visitors. We wait in a line every weekend just to be first in line to see our family members just to be told "Sorry our computers are down, or we're short staffed its gonna be a while". It's not our fault what problems y'all have. We are the ones who suffer! How can it be something "EVERY" weekend? I dread going there, we spend so much money there and our visits are what keeps hope and well behavior in the inmates but yet we are treated soooo bad its horrible.I don't know which I'll be happier for"that my love one gets to come home or I don't have to ever go back to central state prison".

Not my idea of grand, however, but many much more worse places to be. The most impressive factor was that I had a personal item of A+ priority and I did get it returned to me promptly. Everyone should exhibit a certain decent amount of friendly based upon their career. They are NOT car salesmen. The vending machines were modern and they did have a state of the art Inmate System. Securus/Smart Deposit. I had to use the restroom and it was clean with locks on the restroom to limit any more forms of drama. Who in the heck makes a date to the County Jail? So why would I even think to take a peek at this facility, however the people in the jail were cool as heck. Jails should give YOU EVERY reason to provoke NO return. P.S. I was there as a potential criminal elated about freedom of speech

The women who answers the phone at the bonding department is so rude. I dont want to be rude back because I don't want it effecting my brother in anyway. But a simple you're welcome would do it when someone says thank you. I'm sorry if they weren't raised correctly but being a human back doesn't hurt. I have high anxiety so already going to check or even calling makes me nervous. I've heard bad things about this jail and the last thing i think someone who WORKS there and CHOOSE to work there is to make us more worried with their attitude. I hope they find god and one of their family members never end up in jail. I know they won't read this but I thought someone should.

All of a sudden he's finding himself constantly fighting because people are trying too kill him. My issue is that I'm constantly calling the warden, counselor anyone that will listen.

Footwear leaves something to be desired as both of my shoes had the same size written on them, but one was almost 2 inches longer than the other. As for the food, lunch was pretty good but dinner consisted of a bunch of chopped up ( chicken? ) inside of two folded soft tortillas and mustard. Overall my stay was miserable but then again, it's not supposed to be fun. The staff was excellent and extraordinarily professional! The Sheriff has done an excellent job maintaining order, despite the other visitors consistently banging on doors and beating up the other residents. As jails go, I give it four stars. It would have been five but for the mattress and that the cooks use all the spices they can grope for or non at all. I don't plan on returning and will instead choose a hotel in Locust Groce. Thank you.

My Aunt is a translator for the International Confederation of Wizards Quidditch Committee (ICWQC) so the seats were pretty good. As you know wizards usually apparate but for international travel a portkey is the best. The nearest portkey for me is Bob the turkey https://www.yelp.com/biz/bob-the-turkey-statue-woodstock?uid=FdPioXvctMq8lhBtd_NnTg&utm_campaign=www_business_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) in downtown Woodstock. And since Bob the turkey is a local portkey-meaning that its only used for regional travel...I had to come to the One man jail cell in order to transfer to an international portkey. This portkey can be found on the muggle map called Google which has a more accurate direction https://goo.gl/maps/BD96Fb9xhdP2 The real address is 47 Delta Place NE Atlanta, GA 30307. Its listed as Inman Park Lockbox and apparently use to be a real jail cell from back in the 1800's... We were able to get to our destination (sorry but we can't reveal the destination) and will probably be back for the 2019 World cup!

Historic obscurity hidden in plain sight....in Atlanta! The OMJC reminds me of kinds of things…read moreyou'd find in Portland, OR., Fremont (Seattle), Austin, Key West or New Orleans...where weirdness is celebrated. An interesting remnant of a bygone era, the OMJC or the "iron maiden" was used by foot patrolmen to temporarily hold prisoners waiting for the paddy wagon in the 1880s (according to Atlanta Walks). Surprisingly, it's in good condition with a working door. It is rather skinny with only tiny skylights for lighting...not recommended for anyone with claustrophobia or nyctophobia. The OMJC stands alone at Delta Park in Inman Park. This tiny triangular shaped park is in the middle of 3 intersections. Hence the name? Also found at Delta Park is a historic civil war marker that has nothing to do with the OMJC. Free and not touristy. Parking is street. A quirky slice of history... maybe Atlanta has been a little offbeat all along!
