The chauffeur was condescending and the ride intolerably bumpy and without air conditioning. It was considerate of them to rinse the mace from my eyes (though I fail to understand why I was hosed at all), however my clothes were soaked and the effects lingered. Upon arrival, I was seated in a waiting area for eight hours (a bus. It was a bus). We are in the middle of a pandemic, yet people were packed one per foot. After being given a misdemeanor charge (for being out past my bed time) I was shown to a second waiting area, where ambience was provided in the form of the ever objective Fox News. The commemorative photo they took was unflattering and lacked a sense of composition-this guy was no Saul Leiter. After a few more hours of waiting (and waiting, and waiting-the predominate theme of my visit, as I am sure you have discerned, was waiting. It was worse than being at Disney Land in mid July without a fast pass), I was shown to a cell. The decoration was wanting, and while I appreciate their use of a local artist, the mural on my cell's wall was nonetheless amateurish. Still, it did succeed in making me long to be literally anywhere else. The food (which I had waited fourteen hours for) was a single piece of mystery lunch meat on plain white bread and a days old apple. The only water provided was what came out of the sink and had to be shared with my cellmates. My compliments to the chef. Having at last been served, I was unceremoniously shown the door. Seriously, get arrested elsewhere. This place was a joke.

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.

She let a man and a woman know about it and stayed in severe pain without any medical care given at all. Animals at the SPCA's are given better treatment than my 67 year old mother was given. She had to crawl to get her trays of food because of the pain and lost down to 114 lbs. It has been confirmed by Medical staff that she broke her back and has a scar on her back from falling on her back in her cell. Once again animals receive better medical treatment that a human being.

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
