I like to say thank you for taking the chance on me I'd also like to thank all of the classification officers for giving me the chance the food was not that bad the stay was not that bad. working for them I was very grateful to earn a month off. I would like to also thank Miss Mayfield and Miss Meliane. For the coffee and the bubbly water that you ladies provide to us workers. I would also like to say thank you for all the old timers that are still there miss sodemburg, officer Leonard, Hayes, belkie, freeze, Truman, Hancock for being there and making the jail fantastic as it is.

Unlike some of the other reviewers here (who've written some truly hilarious narratives), I didn't…read morehave the chance to stay at Folsom Prison. But I really wanted to see Folsom and while on the way to Folsom Lake State Recreation Area with friends, we noticed a sign for the Folsom Prison Museum. Naturally, curiosity won out and we took a much desired detour. Despite having checked online and learning the museum is closed for the foreseeable future (likely budget related), we still decided to drive onto the prison campus anyway to at least see the outside. Mission accomplished! Not only did we find the museum and snap a bunch of fun photos but we also ended up meeting two of the friendliest prison guards imaginable (please note: they're also the only prison guards I've ever met, but still!). They generously took the time to share stories about the prison's history, current conditions, and even fun trivia like the fact that all California license plates are made here at Folsom. Incredible! Oh! I also got a Junior Correctional Officer sticker, how fun!!! Their kindness and willingness to chat really made the stop worthwhile, even without stepping inside the museum. Which, by the way, the museum is the old warden's residence! While I'd love to return if the museum ever reopens, I'll definitely pass on the chance to spend a night here as an official guest. Still, for a quick, quirky, and historic stop, Folsom Prison delivered.

But now years later, I've been trying without any luck to mail a letter hoping to lift an old friends spirits, maybe buy them a snack or two. Not sure what's going on, like perhaps there's an unofficial rule to ex nay any former inmates attempting to write anyone in the Placer Co. Correctional Facilities? Just a thought! Has anyone else had such a hard time getting a letter through? Protocol now is they photocopy all mail and give the inmates copies as a way of curtailing drug flow through the mail system. There are no gang relations. A dark blue pen IS NOT A MARKER! Their latest reason for returning my mail. I'm not giving up; I'm writing the Jail Commander next. Just wondering if anyone else has suffered such nonsense? There is power in numbers. If mail is being copied by Secures Inc., why the pettiness? Corrections should be encouraging ties to the community for incarcerated individuals. Just wanting to voice my sentiments and pray that somehow such nonsense be noticed by the higher-ups. And then they make the needed corrections in their own division. Thanks for listening!

South Placer Jail, in my experience, treated me with less than ethical law enforcement and is not a…read moreplace that treats people that have made a mistake with any compassion. 80% of the medical and Custody staff are VERY disrespectful and arrogant. There is one Officer and one Medical staff that were a head and shoulders above all the rest in doing a PROFESSIONAL JOB and they deserve recognition for their exceptional job performance. Officer Seerena and Medical nurse Ellie. I thank you very much. Your piers and supervisors should recognize you both as Role models with self respect and ethics. Thank you for all you did to help me through the toughest time in my life and my time in custody. The custody staff and the Medical staff need to realize the people they are not treating with respect and using poor judgement without compassion might be someone that they might need help or compassion when they see you in public!

I got thrown in Sacramento Jail a few years back for false allegations. Ultimately, the charges…read morewere dropped. The Jail Gards are a bunch of Bully Thugs. Very Unprofessional. They were worse than the inmates. As I was getting processed, this young guy smarted off to them, so they used excessive force, and hostile language and brutally twisted his wrists, They ordered me to watch the incident. They had these old obsolete phones, which were probably 50 years old. My right to make a phone call to my cell phone was denied because it was considered to be long distance even though it was a 916 area code. I could call land phones but not to any cell phones. I'll be dammed, If I am being held against my will, I should be allowed to call anyone I need to help me deal with this bullshit. The only numbers I could connect to were to local Bail Bonds, which are also a bunch of crooks. I couldn't call my wife to discuss the bail conditions. Without my knowledge, my wife bailed me out. It was an excessive $150,000 bail which cost me $15,000. I had no way of telling my wife, to hold off and see what happens at the bail hearing because they denied me of being allowed to call my own local phone number because it is a cell phone. As they let me out, a Jail cop was very rude and hostile. I couldn't understand him, so he yelled "Did you get your ass kicked while you were in jail?" Because I was denied from being able to call my local cell phone when I got out, I was stranded in downtown Sacramento. I didn't dare ask the front desk if I could make a phone call. I just wanted to get the hell away from those assholes. SHAME ON YOU SACRAMENTO JAIL STAFF

The deputies are extremely strict with attire, so please make sure you come with loose fitting clothing. No tight clothes, leggings, jeggings, see through clothing, blue denim, olive green clothing or blue clothing. You can where leggings and jeggings if you are wearing a very long shirt, which covers your backside and front....something to mid thigh. They do have change machines for $5-$20 bills. You can only enter with $1 bills and quarters. I believe it's $40-$50 per person who are visitors. The deputies are nice, but strict. If you're pleasant towards them, they'll be pleasant towards you.
