the last 4 times I have been there they will not let me visit because they say I,m not dressed…read moreright. I am 64, have had both. breasts removed due to cancer and I,m over weight. I,m no sex kitten. I always. wear long pants and a tee shirt. I guess they want me in a berka. but the female guard who turns me away had 50 triple d boobs and wears a skin tight shirt to show them off. do as you preach I say. they must have some thing going with was-mart cause each time they tell me to go buy. a whole new outfit there and then come back.

The reason why I rated Roxbury correctional institution for two stars it's because some of the…read morepeople at the front is very rude nasty they act like I'm not a human being other than that it's okay.

i should add... way better than the DOC (like Roxbury!) too!read more

Let's start it off right! Food is definitely GREAT as far as prison/jail chow goes. Definitely 5…read morestar compared to regional jails and prisons in nearby WV and the DOC Maryland prison system. Better than the meals at schools, kind of similar, but better. Chicken patty sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers, all sorts of stuff. The menu repeats on a weekly basis and it's pretty good. Most of it is Sysco food, premade, not "made by inmates", more like just heated up. Commissary that you can order if you have money on your books is GREAT. $30 a week. Huge variety of candy and snacks. All kinds of Little Debbie boxes of cakes. Cup o Noodle ramen, cheese curls, tuna, mack, sausages. Many other "luxuries" on the list too. If only they let you spend more than $30 a week. Inmates. It can get a little gangsta up in WCDC, some fights, some assaults, but nothing like on TV. Ain't nobody getting sexually assaulted, stuff like that probably happens less than a couple times a year, if at all. Plenty of willing gumps for the bucks, so ain't no need to take booty. Once you punch somebody in their mouth and go to the hole for 30 days, pretty much everybody is gonna leave you alone for the rest of your bit. Hardly nobody wants to go to C-Pod and be in solitary for 30 days, no matter how gangsta they act. You could get yourself f-d up tho, if your dumb, so as always, be smart, and stay ready. Guards and staff are fine. Medical care is pretty bad. The JSAP drug program is really good, but most of the inmates in it are gonna get out in a couple months so they don't really take it serious. All in all, you'd have to go to a Federal minimum security camp to get better service than this.

The pictures do not match. The amount of roaches in there, they were crawling on us. Guards fucked…read morewith us, lied about time and day, talked shit. No A/C in the facility. They plugged 1 fan in for the whole row. Lights didn't work. No pad on the metal bed. Bologna sandwiches were used as a pillow and for my hips on the metal. Did I mention roaches? Infested is an understatement

This place should be closed NOW!!!! The roaches are all over the place and the bologna sandwiches…read morewith the cookies are bait to keep them away. They have old water/juice tops with rat bait in them in front of each cell. It's very unsanitary and inhumane there and I wish a higher up will take a surprise tour through there to just "SEE"....

Fairfax County ADC is possibly the worst jal you could ever go to i dont recommend anybody getting…read morein trouble and going to that place they dont look at you as human, they dont treat you like you have a life outside of jail and they have the worst food imaginable. i dont lie i hate liars so yk im not lying about anything I've experienced while in there. now yes there are some good deputies in there just to name one, Mr.Brown helped me cope and deal with alot of things while i was in there and if it wasnt for him i probably would want to blow up and let all my anger out. best advice before going in there is dont be yourself, always be on mantime or if your are a female still be on mantime jail is not for the weak or the helpless. never let anybody play with you because once you do its over everybody will feel as though they can. just stay to yourself and talk to your family every chance you can get and dont go in there trying to bully your way through or make it like you run the place because they will get your booty out of there.

It's just very unsanitary for human beings. No one should have to live in those conditionsread more

As an activist for Children's rights, I have on occasion been incarcerated for acts of civil…read moredisobedience, that is in fact part of my job, to bring about awareness of a terribly unjust family and juvenile court system. America's ANTI-family and Juvenile courts make rulings which in all honesty result in the abuse of our children and they make these rulings for what amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to the states, counties and their employees every year. In any event, The jail in Washington DC, is one of the worst jails it is definitely a real s*** hole. Everything is stainless steel, I mean everything including the beds. This is obviously done so that they can keep the place clean and free of infestation. The inmates receive nothing, no pillows, no tooth brush, no tooth paste, nothing. I was not afforded the luxury of staying in my cell and relaxing in DC they have a very high turn over, especially so with activists. Again they institute scare tactics big time by leading you to believe you are a terrible criminal who has committed a crime against the government when in all reality, they are the criminals. We all have a first amendment right, it should in fact be our most important right but the government would of course rather you did not have or exercise that right The jails in DC are very over crowded. Days are spent moving prisoners from jail cell to jail cell. Some cells are crowded to the point where 50-60 men are in a 12x12 cell, obviously one can not even sit down in that environment. The toilets are over flowing, hence the terminology, s*** hole. These jails are over crowded so they have a high turn over. Judges work 7 days a week and at least well into the night. This is pretty cool because in most counties if you are arrested on a Friday, that's it, you will not see a judge until Monday. Depending on your crime, that is if you have committed one in their state and not being extradited, you will see a judge within 72 hours, that is the law. However, Washington, DC is over crowded so they want to get you out. Of course everybody pays a fine, COURT IS AFTER ALL AN INCOME GENERATING BUSINESS. The food was sub par as jails go. Apparently the local inmates think it is pretty good but they have apparently not visited a true 5 star jail. The property is secure, the jailers are OK, nothing special here either. The new scam in many jails are the phone systems. Yes, you can communicate via telephone with an outside party but they must put a rather large deposit into the systems account. Calls are about $1.00 per minute, definitely a scam, fortunately the ACLU is onto this scam and should have this shut down or at least a fair rate charged . Speaking of the ACLU, all jails nationwide are now mandated to have panic buttons in the cell, I did not see a panic button... Like any jail, the objective is to scare you into not wanting to go and make you miserable while you are there so that you do not want to come back, Jails are all solitary, only the high tech, long term jails or prisons offer additional comforts. Butte County is just a jail, no big deal. If you are in jail for a righteous cause like children's rights, no one can break you down. I rate this jail a 1 on a scale of 1-5. They could have better food and treat their prisoners better. It is not necessary to be an ass and a jailer, I mean, you met your just being an ass.
