    Will County Adult Detention Facility - I know I don't look very happy in this shot... in fact I tried to look kind of 'menacing' and everything... 'cause I was in jail

    I called to schedule a visit with a family member a couple weeks ago. Calling the place was easy…read more It's strictly a video visitation place. You simply walk on in after paying to park because the officers get the free parking. The officers here treated me like a dumb criminal. I'm just a simple man that wanted to visit family. The video calls had bad sound and video quality. I didn't even get a full 30 minutes. Just 22! Make sure your family/friends don't get locked up here because I wouldn't want to come back here.

    Let's face it…read more Nobody likes going to jail. Well... if you're married to someone who makes your life a living hell every waking moment and you're worried about them pouring gasoline on you while you sleep and lighting you up... jail can seem peaceful and safe. I spent around 47 hours and 13 minutes in the Will County Adult Detention Facility so I feel qualified to offer you a review of this government institution. Like everyone else I was there because I was framed. Unfortunately I was 'framed' on a holiday where the courts were closed and the jail was filled to over capacity and it would be almost two days before I could see the judge to get my sorry ass bonded out of there. I've never been in any other jail so it's hard to compare this facility to any of the other penal institutions you may be familiar with. I've been in a few police lockups but that really doesn't count. When you get your dumbass thrown in jail the police officer who arrested you drives you to 'The Big House' and the arresting officer watches them 'book you in.' It's not a whole bunch of fun and they really search you very well. Don't try to hide your nicotine gum or they'll find it and then you're off to a body cavity search with more than likely a very big and insensitive guard who you probably really don't want probing you in those places anyway. They take all your stuff... including your clothes and they put it in this machine and shrink wrap it so you can get it if you're lucky enough to leave. The guards there seem like they want to bust your head for any infraction and there's all kindsa rules you better learn really quickly. After a bunch of paperwork they take you to the nurse and she gives you about four or five vaccinations. They probably won't tell you what they are but by the third one they heard my objection to these vaccinations on the grounds of 'religious exemption' and quit sticking me with needles... although the guard informed the nurse that he'd be more than happy to 'tune me up' into compliance for the nurse. Since I am a federal informant who blew the whistle on some serious government corruption I was given my very own cell. It had a concrete bench to sleep on... and fluorescent lights that were never turned off. The toilet was right in the middle and it was made out of stainless steel with no seat and if you used it everyone could watch. That was kinda weird. The food there really sucked... it was cold... not appetizing at all and the purple cool aid was devoid of any sugar since the guys in the kitchen steal all of the sugar to make 'hootch' in their cells... a primitive fermented beverage that anyone who has spent any time in the 'Big House' is familiar with. As this was my very first time experiencing the life of an inmate you can bet I was scared and nervous. The guards could care less and they wouldn't even answer any questions. They give you an orange jumpsuit to wear in addition to underwear and socks that someone else wore.. kinda creepy really. Many of the people who go to jail are innocent and the statistics prove that... but the guards still treat everyone like shit and it's a really dehumanizing experience. I hope you never go through it... unless you deserve it... but you still have my sympathies because losing your freedom and being in jail sucks big time. Especially if you're there for no reason. It's still gonna cost you a lot of money to prove you didn't deserve to be there and if you do that... after spending thousands of dollars and going through all of that you wont even get an apology. I hope this is the last review that I do of any penal institution and I hope you never have to make use of it. Even after I went in front of the judge and I was bonded out it took like fourteen hours before they released me... and they threw me outta the joint at three O'clock in the morning. I didn't wanna bother anyone for a ride at that time so I went to the train station and I partied with a bunch of homeless drunks until five when the trains started running. I didn't care that these guys were bums or that the smell of urine wafted on the breeze as we knocked back some Mad Dog 20/20 from a brown paper bag... I was free and that freedom was so sweet.

    The 911 dispatcher what was called @2:24 07/08/25 needs to be fired. My neighbor house caught on…read morefire Called for a house fire caused by a firework (they blamed a black and mild for it ) she Constantly asking the same questions 10xs told her can you just dispatch firefighters . She wants to catch an attitude and say oh my god like he gone come down and help . Firefighters Literally down the street and on 57th and Tyler way neighbors house was on 57th and jackson. Not even 5 blocks took them 15 mins to come . By the time they came the fire was mostly over just smoky the Kids put it out before professionals ! Police in grey Durango speeding slamming brakes cause he was finna past the block thinking he magnum PI . POS reason for taxpaying money to be sent to agencies like this if you ask me .

    First, I arrived thi king it would be dimple to get a copy of my re ord and a letter of disposition…read morefor a arrest not a charge or conviction fir an 30 year old file.. NOPE was I definitely wrong. Sheriff dept has no good customer service and when someone with a little care of assisting me you have another person stepping in to not help but make sure I'm not able to get proper attention, answers and documents. I was put through the rubber fir over an hour and still he refuse to help me. Making ne go back in fifth to different offices because he was too lazy to go to another building to pull old archives from my case. Smh. I hope I don't never have to go there for help or to obtain court or anything. UNPROFESSIONAL and racist
