The Marion County Sheriff's Department and the facility they run at 40 S. Alabama are some of the…read moremost gross violators of human and civil rights in this state, possibly the nation. There have been several death investigations over the years attributed to suicide. Reports of physical abuse rarely get noticed. The mental health cell blocks are where I experienced the most inhumane treatment. Deputies and mental health staff can place a defendant on suicide watch whenever they feel he or she is a threat to themselves or others. This authority is often abused by the staff and defendants are placed on suicide watch frequently without just cause. The housing units used to hold those on suicide watch are the nastiest areas, with serious health-code violations. Defendants are placed in cells naked with a mat, special blanket, and smock to wear if they have to leave their cell. Feces, from who knows how many different defendants over however long period of time, is clearly visible on most of the surfaces in the majority of cells. Defendants are rarely given the opportunity to shower and when they do, they find the showers covered in the same fecal matter as described in the cells. Defendants are under 24 hour surveillance by a camera sitting on the second row of bars directly in front of cells. Deputies are also suppose to make rounds verifying the physical safety and well-being of defendants. Since the majority of those placed on suicide watch have documented mental health issues, the environment is loud and agitating. It is almost impossible to sleep with the constant yelling, banging, and shaking of the bars. If you did not have serious mental health issues before going to suicide watch, you most certainly did after a few days in this environment. Deputies often physically abuse defendants and have the authority to take away the mat, blanket, and smock. I was left in my cell with nothing but my naked body and a steel bed-frame for several days at a time. This only further caused my mental health state to deteriorate. There are so many more horrendous, gruesome details that I am not including in this review. I feel they deserve their proper attention in a court of law. Through it all I never once attempted to harm myself or anyone else, which was their justification for keeping me on suicide watch. I was fortunate in that regard knowing many other people who ,while being held at Marion County Jail, took their last breath.

I'm a resident of St. Augustine, Fl, I used to live in downtown Indianapolis. On Friday, Dec 6,…read more2024, I was pulled over by a Lawrence police officer around 7:15 p.m. I had mistakenly run a light by not yeilding to the do not turn sign at German Church and Pendleton. I didn't get the officers name or badge number. The officer was such a kind person. He explained the change while I was admitting running the light. Overall, I had a good encounter. Not all police are rude and disrespectful, and not all citizen they protect are criminals and out to break laws. He joked, and I made a joke. We treated each other with respect. Officer, thanks for the warning instead of a citation. P. Thomas

I have to give them one star because I can't give them zero stars! this place is a joke the whole…read morecity as a whole we know they've got homicides to solve and that tops the bill and it should, but for non-emergency phone calls they're a lady that answers and she's just rude disrespectful they think it's a joke when you call about something going on in your community other then A home invasion or murder! they don't take it serious and I think it's very serious when you call about disturbances in your neighborhood and no one does anything about it! that's the start that's the gate way to crime and trouble when we allow thugs in our communities to just run rampant and they do because they know they can get away with it. Why does department even exist? why are they paying these people to just sit there and think it's funny when you call? A robot can answer calls and dispatch a squad car if it's available to come tell the neighbors to cut their music down and shut the party down. And then she has the nerve to say there isn't a noise ordinance! really! every city in every town in the US of A unless you're in the back woods somewhere has a noise ordinance! Is just beyond pathetic and the only thing you can do about it is VOTE. Try to vote these lame people out of their position and get somebody there who gets it and gives a hoot.
