What a great prison, this place was sweet! Out of all my stops at different county jails, Chester…read moreCounty Prison certainly takes the cake! Not once during my stay did I fear for the virginity of my anus. Were talking two gyms, contact visits, cable T.V's in every cell and a sweet ass commissary. I'm not even kidding when I say you could get a big bag of potato chips for $2.00! Many of the cells offer beautiful views of the surrounding scenic country side, which is famous for it's horse farms. Don't get your hopes up though as these premium cells are in high demand and there is usually a waiting list. Nothing is perfect I guess.. up until recently we were able to smoke cigarettes and crack the windows open. As far as food, meh, I have experienced better. However, the head chef Darin really made magic with what he had to work with. I really hope he is still there because he did a really great job serving up the food. If I know Darin, he might just still be. The Darin I knew never did like paying his child support. Oh, I almost forgot! During my stay the commissary was selling muscle shirts with a cartoon rendering of a prisoner being held down by a ball and chain. These were not only hilarious but they are sure to make really great gifts and souvenirs as well!!

So cool! We did the audio tour & there was so much to learn and listen to. All very fascinating.read more

We came for the "summer night" tour, which wasn't what was expected as it seemed to be the same as a day tour. We definitely needed longer than 3 hours to explore the whole prison in its full capacity, as this place is HUGE. Definitely an eerie vibe with a lot to learn.

This is the worst prison!! I've been there and currently my husband is there. For this review I'm…read morefocusing on one particular thing. They don't give inmates there medications. Even for people who need it for heart conditions. I waited 3 weeks to get my psych meds. My husband has been waiting for his medication for a month now, and still hasn't been given it. This is serious! My friend hung himself in LCP because he wasn't given his psych meds. Ill be working on brining about something very soon. I'd give zero stars.

I'm not saying that person was perfect, but they didn't deserve the mistreatment & neglect. So many times they would call me saying how hungry they were because dinner was at 4:30 and it wasn't enough. I would hear about how COs would literally yell & punish inmates even if what the inmate did was an accident. They were out on meds that they told the jail don't help them. Visiting was terrible! I do not care what you might think about me, but when I come in and say hello, the proper way to address someone is to say hello back. The COs that I interacted with either were very rude & I guess they just don't know how to talk to people. While other male COs would make inappropriate & scary jokes that honestly made me wonder why they weren't locked up. (Literally had one tell me he could pin me to the ground if he wanted to). Being an outside walking in, everything was gross! The walls were chipping & the floors were nasty. Contacting your loved one inside is a joke! I was so confused because putting money on a tablet was different from commissary, & used two completely different apps. My messages would take literally anywhere between 5-10 days even though I was using a texting app. Hoping other inmates that are in there share their experiences when they get out. I would add more but it would be a book.
