Stateville Correctional Center

Stateville Correctional Center

By far the worst escape room experience I ever had. No clues or hints anywhere on how to escape…read more The paid actors takes there roles seriously and won't help. I will not return to this place ever!

Go figure, a prison with a 1 star review...seems sort of fitting, doesn't it?…read more I've been visiting an inmate here for several years now, and I have to say that for the most part, this place personifies government workers in Illinois. We are on their time. If it's your first time visiting Stateville, get ready to be denied access, even if you're on the inmate's approved list. It's happened to pretty much everyone that I know. They try to tell you you're not on the list. They tried telling me that maybe he forgot to put his sister down because he put his OTHER sister on the list and he needed to put both of us on there (uh, not the case. My brother may be an idiot for other reasons, but not putting his immediate family on a visitors list so that he could have contact with the outside world and food other than the garbage they serve on the line isn't something that he would do). On multiple occasions, we've been check in (and check in, and searched, and checked in, and checked in one more time, just to make sure that we - two females - didn't switch identities with any of the male inmates) and assigned a visiting table just to wait over an hour and a half for the inmate to come downstairs. Apparently the guards only get the prisoners if they feel like it. The vending machines used to be way overpriced, but I guess enough visitors complained (wrote to their elected officials in Springfield) that the prices are now somewhat reasonable. What hasn't been fixed, however, are the machines themselves. Every time we go, at least one machine is out of order. More often than not, there is little to no food in them (and I use the term "food" very loosely) and/or it's expired (especially the fruit/veggie packs). I've been told that the infrastructure of the actual prison is deteriorating badly, with crumbling walls where daylight can be seen through the cracks (real safe, right?). The prison is filled beyond capacity, and with the recent closing of yet another prison, it's even more so. Correctional Facilities are supposed to be rehabilitative, but I've seen my brother's mental state continually decline as a result of being locked up here as he awaits an appeal (another story for another time). The gangs are pretty fierce, even though they pretty much leave unaffiliated people alone (Neutrons are what they're called), and it's not uncommon for the whole place to go on lockdown when a fight erupts (between rival gang members or sometimes between guards and inmates). With such a savage environment, essentially a walled hole where people to go be forgotten, it's no wonder that there are so many repeat offenders.

Cook County Circuit Court - Courthouse from the parking garage after jury duty

Cook County Circuit Court

I recently had jury duty in the "George N. Leighton" criminal courthouse. By the way, Judge…read moreLeighton has a great story of his own and I encourage you all to Google and find out. I saw a few yelpers' reviews on the courthouse itself and their experiences. There was no cafeteria anymore. Instead, there were vending machines, featuring Farmer's Fridge and other generic ones, inside the jurors' waiting room. Overall, the offerings were quite decent and eating surely would make the time go by a bit faster! I did use the bathroom a few times and the janitor came through several times to tidy things up. Fortunately, we were dismissed early due to the defendant' plea deal. To be honest, I would love to be called to the court room and get that "voir dire" process started. Anyway, I was fine either way since it would be a long way traveling back home and traffic wasn't heavy in the late morning/early afternoon. The information video seemed to be updated from the last time I served my first jury duty (sometime 2017), except Judge Timothy C. Evans' introduction filed in the 90's still existed. That part could use some new technology because it didn't sync with the rest of the contents. People couldn't be any nicer! Everyone I talked to was polite. I almost wanted to use the lactation room, as I found out we were going to be dismissed soon. I opted out but the facility would be available for nursing moms and I bet the clerk would be happy to help. For transportation options, CTA bus #94 drops passengers in front of the courtroom and parking lot. Jurors can park for free and there is an instruction on the summon. The Pink Line California station is approximately of a 10-min walk and it seems safe during the day, yet exercise your own discretion.

I was affirmed to be serving jury duty in person at this criminal Court in Chicago. Today, it was…read morean epic subzero day where most schools were closed. Jury duty members and members attending their court date arrived and entered the same entrance across the street from the parking garage. Getting in around 8:30, an hour earlier than the reported time, seemed to be a good idea, however, there was a bit of a lack of efficiency in the way the lines were queued up. If you are attending courts for any reason and you are not in jury duty, you must check your mobile phone or not bring it into the building at all. If you have a summons to be on jury duty, you are allowed to bring in a laptop, tablet, mobile device while the mobile device is officially allowed. There is a Starbucks stand after the metal detectors at entrance. But as the office of the clerk says, that thing is fake. They never opened it. So look at your hopes up. The cafeteria doesn't exist anymore on the first floor, you are relegated to vending machines, one of which is a farmers fridge. On the second and third floor. Floor. You will head to the third floor and spend the majority of your day through 4:30 p.m. I was selected shortly after lunch. At the roll call, your panel number paper is adorned with a red jury member badge. The 30 to 34 people seemed to include four to five panels. We were shepherded down, across and up to another location where the court rooms are. The walk from the third floor jury duty, waiting room to the courtrooms were through a few ornate corridors and stairwells. I suspect this building is pretty cool inside architecturally speaking. The room we were in was circular and the audio was well adjusted. I do not envy the people who have the hold court everyday. The judge asks the same questions to each of the first 28 people who were selected to be in the court room. There are rest rooms in the juror room (if you get picked after the completion of voir dire) or outside of the courtrooms at the exterior edge of the floor. Restrooms are one person at a time. This is the furthest I've participated in jury duty. At the end of the day, which ended about 5pm, I was not selected to be a jurer. The intent of this trial was to last through this Friday, at worst. Pay for the day is $35 USD and parking is free.

I can't afford your parking tickets. Why not allow me more than four overnight passes per month?…read moreY'all are bullies, and I'm keeping my lunch money. I simply can't afford to pay you 25$ a night every time my culdesac has no spots left for me. Thanks for dumping all over the little guy, hope you feel really great about yourselves when you wake up and go to work for the day. Great job /s No sympathy given when I showed up to the hearing with pictures and maps and stated my case clearly for the "judge". I offered to literally sit in jail instead of hand over the funds I don't have, and was told best you can do is $5 off each ticket? You are chomping at the bits to move these to collections, and outsource your criminal money scam. Who is disconnected here? Is it me? I wake up every day and work for my money, it is often all spoken for the day it enters my account. Find a new way. Don't demand money from people who don't have it. Let me do community Service instead. Evolve. Don't be archaic. You can do better. Be the change in the world. Don't be naive to the financial hardship of the world today. Is this really the spiritual town I grew up believing that it was? I now have strong doubts.

If I could give negative stars, I would. I've lived here for almost 38 years, and something like…read morethis has never happened before. City of Wheaton dropped the ball big time. For the last week or so, there were red flags along the curb on our block. Then came a bunch of construction horses on the parkway. Obviously, something is going on -- but, we were never told what. My husband and I tried contacting the city. They told us curbs were being replaced (ending, of course, 1 house down from ours), and we would receive a notice at least a day in advance. (One day? Like that's time to plan?) Well, no notice at all, and here the crews are -- tearing up the curbs. Called the city. They played dumb. Went out and talked to someone who from the contractor. He swears up and down that there were fliers (if there were, they flew off in the high winds the other day, but I think he was just lying). Neither we nor our neighbors recall seeing any notification. So, now, I'm parking in the driveway of a neighbor who is unaffected by this until the crews finish for the day. But, can I get back into the driveway? NO! Can my husband when he gets back from work? NO! We can park across the street! And, might have to for a few days (or more, depending on the weather), until the concrete can be laid and hardened. What happens to the neighbors who were not home like me? Several have another car they might need to get out and now can't. They also cannot use their driveways when they do get home, which I'm sure will come as a bit of a startle. I was also informed that the whole street is being replaced. No mention of this in any city communication or on the website.
