I lived there for several years. 2001-2005. It was a really horrible place to be. You might think…read more"Well, THAT'S PRISON!" so I will elaborate. First off it's in the freakin desert with no air conditioning. At times it was literally in the 120s but it gets even hotter and more humid with all the concrete and gravel. Every summer several inmates would fall out due to heat exhaustion. The concrete temps outside were in the 130s The guards in the buildings can stay tucked away in their offices where the windows are literally fogged completely up because of the difference. Guards constantly antagonize and attempt to break up your program to make life miserable. They will keep yards and entire races "ethnicities" on complete lockdown for no other reason than to make the guards life/"work" easier. Denying people the ability to maintain healthy connections to the outside world. They under feed you as well. Studies have even shown that inmate populations are far less violent when they are fed adequately. I don't mean the inmates need more tastier foods but rather more calories so people aren't starving that can't supplement their state allotment. It's literally insane. Fights daily and multiple stabbings weekly. I was involved in riots. 99% of the guards don't even see you as human. This is just off the top of my head and I left and never went back over 13 years ago. Naturally the guards told me they'd look forward to seeing my "stupid ass when I come back!" We'll the jokes on them because their the ones doing the time with their 12 hour shifts. I guess their okay with wasting half their lives there for all the money they make being a part of the state largest and most powerful union. Kiss my ass guys! T35285 PS I forgot to mention the 1800ish inmates per yard designed to house a 1000. $$$

If not utilizing shuttles, they will also find their way to City lockups and then County Courts making their cases for not getting jail time, as is typical. Not to mention the fines. 3. Waking up, on New Years Day, with ones head screwed on backwards, dealing with major hangovers, in the can awaiting trial dates, certainly isn't worth the money spent on libations and the resulting feeling as if an Army Platoon just marched through ones mouth, with muddy boots and the resulting " Dragon's Breath ". But, the exercise goes on year after year. 4. The Police, Sheriff and State Troopers, will be doing mandatory overtime writing myriad incident reports, as is typical. Personally, Waking up refreshed and enjoying the first day of the New Year is preferable to any of the foregoing.

Not sure if he was part of this office because his car said state trooper but the officer that…read morepulled me over yesterday was HORRIBLE! He had such an attitude and interrogated me like I was a criminal! And yes everyone in town told me it's because I have California plates and just like Vegas where I currently actually live most of the time and commute back and forth to California but that's another story! I followed 3 other cars off exit 9 turning right. Well apparently the car who went up the middle left side of the lane wasn't turning left but was also going right so I technically turned and cut him off. The officer said to me at least 4 times didn't I see the white line. We drove back over and walked over to look and the white line is covered in dirt and didn't even matter as far as it's only one lane! But so many people did the same thing I did because it seems the way the lane is come up to middle you go left and everyone else hugs the shoulder to turn right. Look I get it I was wrong made a mistake have only been to this area a few times. I was visiting friend who had to move to an area for a disease and who are also new to the area. So not a party person. He walked up to the car with an attitude! Asked me so many questions that actually I know I didn't even have to answer but I tried to be polite but by the end the way he was speaking to me I was ready to say F U and just give me my ticket already! He could have warned me or even explained to me right away what I did but no just attitude and waited to tell Me until he came back with the ticket and when I said I have a very good record and no tickets he just looked at me like We'll see! I drive a Jeep Cherokee and have a baby car seat in my car hello! Grandma car. His attitude and treatment make me want to stop sticking up for cops and say to everyone who always say they all suck that yep that's true! It was horrible and look maybe he's having a bad day but do better!!! Cuz that was horrible! I am still so upset about it! I didn't deserve to be treated that way for turning! We were All going Slow Enough and the big pick up truck that turned I left him go infront of me when I realized he was also turning no one honked or got upset or anything I waved my hand like my bad! And like I said 3 cars infront of me also turned! No harm no foul! Next time Just be friendly give me my ticket and we can all move on NO attitude and poor treatment required!

Ughh... sad place. I…read moredidn't stay long. It was hot, dusty, and uncomfortable, and honestly pretty depressing. What I saw felt more bleak than interesting, and there was nothing about it that I found uplifting in any way. There is a bit of history here. The area used to be Camp Dunlap, a World War II-era U.S. Marine Corps training base. After it was decommissioned, most of the structures were removed, leaving behind the concrete slabs and bunker-like remnants that give Slab City its name. Some of those old concrete huts are still around, and a few have been brightly painted, which was probably the only part I found visually interesting. It sits out near Slab Mountain, and by that point I had already seen enough. I didn't even bother trying to find East Jesus. It was time to go. Beyond that, it just felt like a mess. There was a lot of garbage, very little in the way of amenities, and many of the people living there looked really down and out. It had an eerily familiar resemblance to parts of LA's homeless encampments, which made the whole experience feel uncomfortable rather than unique. For me, this is not a tourist destination. There's very little here that I found remotely interesting, and definitely nothing I'd describe as inspiring. Not for me. 1-1.5 stars

To make up for the dumb guy that answers the phone at the station, the new Imperial Animal Control officer, Stephanie is doing amazing things.

The most ridiculous police officers. I am from Redlands Ca. My daughter was visiting her father for…read morethe weekend and called for help. She was approached as if she was the criminal in the situation. I don't know what the teenagers are like in this city but I do know she was being judged as a rebellious teenager. She is not that at all. She is a B average student and her hobbies are anything science related. Never runs the streets or gets into trouble. She felt she was in danger along with one other child. Officer then went on to say he was raised in an abusive home and would have never called the police. Im pretty sure the 911 call was not about you and your upbringing Mr. Officer. Basically, according to Imperial police it is ok for someone to put their hands on you for no reason. Did you know that you can harm someone as long as you dont leave marks, according to Imperial Police. Oh, and you can put a pillow over someone's face as long as you don't suffocate them all the way. Also, my daughter requested for me to come get her. They stated I would be arrested. That is funny to me since not once did they check my court order. Her father and are friends and have no drama which is the reason why she was there at his house on not one of his weekend's. Maybe Imperial Police should know how to do their job and check court orders before they degrade a child. Dispatch said an officer would call me, they never did. I am not surprised at the lack of professionalism with this department. Haven't heard very good things about this town. Where we live law enforcement is understanding and knows the law. I would like to thank Imperial police department for now I know my daughter is not safe in your town. Also, thank you for now my daughter at 15 years old doubts the justice system. This is a major problem in the world today. Violence because children are growing up disrespecting law enforcement, but why does this happen? This happens because of uneducated police like at Imperial Ca. Good job law enforcement (sarcastic)!
