    Even tho the sheriffs office are trying to remodel or renovate the Claybank facility due to its…read moredisgusting and old build. The new Stanton facility is already falling apart and flooding and other problems to the build. Guards here are light and easy going for the most part. The food and commissary is probably the worst part of this jail and will always be. Since they are not worried about doing anything about it. So basically don't come to jail and mostly don't get caught in this county because it is really rough.

    This is the worst Jail or "hotel" they reference it as. Fairfield Police Department is terrible. I…read morewas arrested 11/28/2021 for defending myself against a Hispanic male who lied to them and stated he was security when he was not while standing over me while asleep as a homeless being who had no other choice to get a nap there as I had been working with Caminar, RSC, #211, Crisis Resource Center team, and CAN-B services who have delayed, lied, and have been misguiding services during a subsiding pandemic. This was his 2nd time in 2 months. There is no one working or over the building. I was told I was being held for questioning while roughly placed in handcuffs by the elbow and wrists, placed in a cop suv with no windows open which was suffocating, and taken to jail. My Miranda rights were not read and no statement was asked nor taken from me. I was demanded to show my nipples to dress out or be processed and told to comply after being searched 4 times. I was roughed by Sherriff Bermudez and the 4 intake Sherriff officers that included 2 males. The cells had NO TISSUE, NO SOAP, and NO WORKING PLUMBING. I expressed this to Sheriff Marrietta and Sheriff Bermudez who rather roughly put hands on me, wake me up every few minutes to ask me if I want Gatorade and a phone call I NEVER GOT and told why should they have to bring tissue to me and I wont allow them to speak. I was released a day and a half later. This all stems from being initially accused 08/2021 by an officer for sleeping in a vehicle he blamed me for driving that is not mine and was not mine. I had BEEN working with homeless and housing resources who seems as I am finding has failed me for years now. I am a black American woman native of 707 lands other than Fairfield that is by far from fair in any way while looking for housing by Section 8 Active representatives services.

My toddler was running around the kid section and being a little loud and no one said anything they just allowed us to play and enjoy the space. They also have coloring tables for kids, an assortment of books and computers with kids learning games. There's a nice outdoor area too. We will be coming more often

    This review is for FRIENDS OF VACAVILLE LIBRARY (FOVL) operating the WORDS OF WONDER (WOW)…read moreBOOKSTORE located inside this Vacaville Cultural Center Library. The WOW bookstore is open several days per week. It sells donated, used books, CDs, etc., and it is staffed by volunteers. I signed up to volunteer, and was really excited to learn more about donating time to the Book Store and its Board of Directors, as discussed with Volunteer Coordinator Michelle. However my experience when attending the group orientation onsite was met with prejudice and discrimination by Director Cathy. When I arrived for orientation the library staff at the Information Desk directed me to the bookstore located inside and to the right. However the bookstore door was locked. I could see the lights were on and someone was inside so I tapped lightly on the door. Cathy unlocked the door slightly, and looked at me sternly. We were face to face - less than 1 foot apart. I introduced myself, advised I was referred by Michelle, and was there for Volunteer Orientation. Another new volunteer walked up behind me, and said she "was here for the same thing." This volunteer remained about 2 feet behind me. Cathy smiled at her, opened the door wider, reached around and behind me, and shook the other volunteer's hand. Then while looking solely at the other volunteer Cathy told us where to find Michelle and the others (at a table 100 feet away). It was obvious Cathy didn't want to acknowledge, touch or speak with me. The other volunteer was not a woman of color. I am. And since I was clean, well groomed, and well dressed, I can only assume Cathy's indifference and lack of respect was because of a prejudice against women of color. At the very least she didn't feel I deserved the same basic courtesies she extended to the new volunteer standing behind me. Her actions said she didn't value me or my contributions. Shocked by Cathy's overt act of racism I managed to move towards and even participate in the orientation. Alhough I couldn't stop thinking about the way I had been treated. I did tour the bookstore briefly after the group session, at Michelle's urgence. She was excited that I had experience working on and with Boards, and wanted me to meet Cathy. I try to look for the good in people so I decided to give Cathy another chance. However after Michelle introduced us Cathy still didn't give me the greeting she had given my counterpart earlier. No hand shake, no greeting, no smile - just demanded, "tell me (her) about your work history" - with a snarl and superior demeanor. I stopped her interrogation-type inquiry and extended my hand stating I would like to "formally introduce myself." She shook it reluctantly. Still no pleasantries. There was no mistaking that she was speaking with me because Michelle told her someone was interested in volunteering in the bookstore and on the Board of Directors but when she saw it was me she couldn't hide her prejudice, again. I left there knowing I could not volunteer my time or services to an organization whose director looked down upon people and treated them differently because of the color of their skin. I provided feedback to Michelle, and reminded her we are a diverse nation, and expertise and contributions come in all colors. And told her that based on my experience I could not and would not be donating my time or services to FOVL WOW. As long as the Cathy's are in charge here African American or others of color won't be treated with the same dignity and respect. So that's a big no for me.
