If I could give a 0 it would be too much praise for this group. No one seems to know anything…read more Everyone tells you 30 mins, when they mean 4-6 hours. They have made it difficult to get a bonded individual out and bond was posted 5.5 hours ago. They made an excuse that they had a medical emergency and had to lock him back up, but that was 2 hours after bond and monitor in place. So that's crap. They have a guy here since yesterday (2pm) and here it is almost 7pm and they can't confirm if he is on a list to turn himself in or not. CLOWNS! Now...shift change is happening...so, now; he might get out in "30" minutes. Make that 45 min.. Now an hour and a half....We shall see.. People that are incarcerated have rights. When you violate those rights, you become the criminals. This is a sad excuse for police officers...slow, ignorant, uncaring. When you treat your inmates and their family like trash, you in turn become the trash.

I arrived at Hagerstown prison on some Bullsh*t possession charge…read more(I told them it was that hitchhiker I picked up that left that piece of crack under my seat). Hagerstown prison sits on a rolling hill and due to the limited amount of lightpollution surrounding the area you can see the big dipper quite well. I was walked into the prison(I am sorry, correctional facility) by two of the nicest police officers in the world.I have only nice things to say about the fine police force of Hagerstown. The gates to the correctional facility opened up and the first thing I noticed was how clean the place was. Wow! was I impressed. The lovely color of orange the walls where painted matched my new orange jumpsuit I was issued. Getting processed into general population is never a quick affair, but 11 hours!! I already had knocked off one star for that inconveinence. The staff was pretty friendly, well as far as prison staffs go. I was in the processing room for about 4 hours when my stomach was rumbling from the Indian food I had for dinner. No one ever wants to drop a deuce with 14 dudes within 10 feet, but you got to do what you got to do. If I could take one thing from prison and put it in my house, It would be those steel toilets. Talk about comfort, I almost forgot I was in prison for a second. Fast forward a week I am in general population and I only got into one small fight over a half eaten apple. I know Prison has rules for visitors, but come on. This is from the visitors code: Visitors must dress appropriately for visitation. All clothing must cover from the neck to the kneecaps. The following types of clothing are not allowed to be worn: * tube tops, tank tops, or halter tops * see-through clothing * mini-skirts, mini-dresses, shorts, skorts, or culottes (at or above the kneecap) * form-fitting clothes such as leotards, spandex, and leggings What do you want my lady to wear when she comes to visit me a burka? Hagerstown Prison is not Attika or Angola (Louisiana Prison, not the country in Africa) but it could use some improvements. Only 3 basic cable channels and no nets for the basketball hoops are the least of the problems here. But the staff is decent and even the Warden seems like a swell guy.

What a great prison, this place was sweet! Out of all my stops at different county jails, Chester…read moreCounty Prison certainly takes the cake! Not once during my stay did I fear for the virginity of my anus. Were talking two gyms, contact visits, cable T.V's in every cell and a sweet ass commissary. I'm not even kidding when I say you could get a big bag of potato chips for $2.00! Many of the cells offer beautiful views of the surrounding scenic country side, which is famous for it's horse farms. Don't get your hopes up though as these premium cells are in high demand and there is usually a waiting list. Nothing is perfect I guess.. up until recently we were able to smoke cigarettes and crack the windows open. As far as food, meh, I have experienced better. However, the head chef Darin really made magic with what he had to work with. I really hope he is still there because he did a really great job serving up the food. If I know Darin, he might just still be. The Darin I knew never did like paying his child support. Oh, I almost forgot! During my stay the commissary was selling muscle shirts with a cartoon rendering of a prisoner being held down by a ball and chain. These were not only hilarious but they are sure to make really great gifts and souvenirs as well!!

It comes to my attn someone was arrested with my expensive earrings now they say their ID is missing also my earrings. No one can account for. I personally don't make trouble yet arrested and false allegations. These pple and courts have ruin my last 3 years yet took items and money from citizens, not reporting things on paperwork. Please shut these pple down fire and replace. I have nothing against them or the courts just want things done correctly, not my image ruined. I need answers. Who can supports them. This place out of control costing us tax dlrs. I want a replacement of all items lost or stolen by pwc. I want my record wipe clean. I'm highly upset and frustrated. I want speak to higher ups.

Love that the stainless steel toilet seats are easy to clean (urine beads right off)…read more Haven't yet had the elusive Wagyu steaks that are served in the mess hall every 6th Saturday of the month, but all the other prisoners rave about the exquisite marbling and fantastic taste. A few colleagues told me to avoid some of the southern food, like the corn bread, as it is intermittently laced with ex-lax. The prison hooch is meh, the floaties are tasteless, and is overpriced at 1 strip of postage stamps. Much prefer the delectable margaritas served in Seychelles, or the hard-charging vodka that is available in much of mother Russia The VIP prisoner section is the way to go (no roomies!). No dual ankle bracelets required AND they send a guard past the cell every 15 minutes because they like us so much. There are spectacular artists on my cell block! I'm considering a Richard Nixon tattoo for my lower back, spades on my ankle, and/or the border outline of Ukraine to help obfuscate the blemishes on my groin. This resort offers so much self-improvement: I've taken up the yoga, mindful meditation, green tea enemas, and am happily gluten free for 16 hours and counting! Cons: -there is a lingering odor that doesn't seem to go away. The smell could be that my mentally ill friend Roger, has feces-flinging-fits. And they are not often cleaned up -mobile phone use costs 3 cans of tuna, which is overpriced as there is no WhatsApp on the flip phone -the library has a pitiful selection similar to that rural Alabama town Sessions took me to once: they are missing the Reagan-era National Reviews, and they don't carry Foreign Policy magazine, at all
