    First off, I would like to say that the staff and judges are professional, other than a couple I…read morewill not name. I'm not writing to slander anyone in particular, but rather to address the fact that the system is one broken mess. I landed myself a DUI as of last year and that's no ones fault but my own. I own up to my mistakes, and live under a moral of accountability. The process through court was rather speedy, and precise. I opted for a diversion, blah blah, you get the rest. Where my troubles begin, is the very vague information they give as to how you go about completing said diversion. You go to the probation office (or whatever it's called), you fill out some paperwork, and you're well on your way.... So one would think. The information they give you basically skims the surface of the process. They hand you a card to contact someone if you have further questions about the process. You better believe that I had a plethora of questions to ask. I called the office several times over a period of 2 weeks without a single return call. Left several voicemails stating the nature of my call, as well as the questions I had. I get a returned call (finally) after about 2 weeks of constant calling, I was working and couldn't answer the call. The person on the other line pretty said If I had any questions, to call back.... Really? Fast forward about 5 months. I get everything figured out via a private party (no thanks to the Jackson county "justice system"), and get into my classes. Talking with my counselor, she states that I still needed to complete the process via the Jackson county court system. From my knowledge, I was up to date on everything that needed to be completed. Oh boy was I wrong. I had paid all of my fines prior to even getting into the classes, and as it turns out there's a "hidden fee" to pay up front before having to wait a month to do what they call an interview. Just another way to sipe money out of your pockets, as well as waste your time possibly costing a person their livelihood perse? I hope one day they hire a few more qualified people that can do their job right, give out clear and precise information, so people can handle their problems and get on with their lives.

    The materials that compose the Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse are humble - poured…read moreconcrete, stainless steel - however its expression isn't in the opulence of materials (as in historic courthouses) but rather how they form spaces and give way to natural light. Like the new San Francisco Federal Building this courthouse, although a seemingly self-indulgent expression of the architect Thom Mayne's design biases, is really a rational response to the function of the building, its environmental conditions (nearby flooding river, light orientations, wind, and climate) and the urban landscape of which it is a part. This particular building has the added responsibility to be symbolic as it is a functional representation of the justice system. Additionally it is situated in an obviously moribund site giving it the opportunity to act as a catalyst for future development in the area. It is interesting to note that one half of one percent of federal building cost is allocated for art in the building to be created by living American artists. This art is most often commissioned for the building and the artist works closely with the architect to integrate the art with the architecture. I was particularly impressed with the art in the Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse which includes: Sean Healy's "Jury Pool", a series of glass polka dots affixed to the glass doors of the jury assembly room; Installation artist Matthew Ritchie's "Stare Decisis", a steel sculpture which sits on the second floor exterior of the building and emulates the nearby Willamette River as well as complementary work "Life, Liberty and Pursuit" composed of huge light boxes that shift as you walk by them; Photographer Kristin Timken's "Witness" a series of pinhole photographs of Oregon's landscape. NOTES: This is a public building which means anyone is free to visit as long as you show a government-issued photo id and pass through a magnotometer (like those at the airport) No cameras allowed inside First LEED Gold US courthouse (a rating based on five areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality) CONCLUSION: The Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse in Eugene, Oregon is yet another fine example of Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Thom Mayne's commitment to design excellence. His thoroughly rational responses to the function of the building and surrounding environmental circumstances have allowed him to create a courthouse that will be admired for generations.

Overall pretty daring architecture for Eugene, everyone seems to have an opinion, love it or hate it. Hopefully this starts the development march to reconnect downtown with the river. The artwork inside is hit or miss but worth checking out.

    It's a jail. The experience is that of a jail. But if there's ever a jail you want to learn a…read morelesson in, I'd say this the place. You could definitely have it worse. 3 meals a day that all taste the same, mostly petty crime inmates, beds hurt your back, and you better know your phone numbers or else the phones useless. I can't say I was a fan of finding every length and color of hair embedded in my blanket, but again, it's jail. Definitely need a better book selection. Everything felt akin to To Kill a Mockingbird, and there were more bibles than any other book; depressing. The screamers and door stompers made sleeping hell. The guards are friendly if shown respect, they're not stingy with coloring supplies or board games. The messages on the walls can be gloomy, the crosses etched in everywhere didn't help either, but you'll definitely pray at some point in spite of it all. Be courteous, mindful of your mistakes, and try to make the most of it and you won't end up in a suicide smock. One day at a time. It can change your life, and I mean for the better. Be open to that. Everyone makes mistakes. Fools never stop. If I have any advice: collect all the juice packets, don't talk about your case, you can have up to 10 books, ask a guard for ear plugs, drink lots of water so you don't waste toilet paper, ask questions, make jokes, and let people sleep...
