I was a guest here in 2014 and had the most disturbing experience. There first night I was there I…read moremet a young girl (I would say she was in her early 20's) and she was very ill. This was her first visit to jail and, at first I thought she was dope sick (seems like everyone is the first few days in jail, sadly) but then I could tell it was something far more serious. She informed me that she needed her heart medication and they would not listen to her. I even attempted to talk to the officer to let them know what was going on but those attempt's were useless. If you've ever been to jail you know their favorite response to any need you might have is "go fill out a kite" so I showed her how to do this and I'm pretty sure that kite was never even read by the staff before the traffic turn of events. I was in the cell next to here and assured her I would be there if she needed to talk and I would do what I could to help her. During the middle of the night I was woken by the sound of a defibrillator machine. And while they had covered my cell window so I couldn't see out, it didn't take long to figure out what was going on. With tears steaming down my face, I listened to them try to get this girls heart beating for what seemed like forever. They were unsuccessful and this poor girls life was taken and it could have been prevented. I've never witnessed such inhumane treatment in my life. This girl tried to tell the staff members many times and not one of them helped her. It was in the newspaper. A short paragraph telling of a 23 year old woman who died of "natural causes". No, Pierce County, she died from your negligence and it should have never happened. I don't know if her family was ever told what really happened and it's terrifying that the jail was never held accountable. This girl was not a druggie and was not trying to get drugs to get high or something. She was begging for someone to listen to her and give her the heart medication she needed. Not one person there had the human decency to help her.

Aside from the horrifying filthy conditions and sickening food (cold hot dogs in a cold bun, brown…read morelettuce etc). You are in a 4x9 cement cell most of the 24 hour day. If you need medication forget it. You will slowly deteriorate until some power hungry guard thinks you are "misbehaving"and either hits you or drags you to "solitary..or more likely, both. And if you have/need glasses to see and function forget that too. Rather be dead than in this hellhole.

I thought about writing a book review and rank all of them, but then I realized I'd have to get arrested over and over across the country so eh. Avoid Birmingham Jail at all costs though

Pioneers of EVIL. Someone didn't file paperwork after I got a DUI-In Control (I parked in my…read moreapartment parking spot, took a Xanax, and fell asleep as I hadn't slept in days) so a warrant went went out for my arrest. Wasn't read my Miranda Rights, wasn't told why I was being arrested, denied a phone call, and put in solitary confinement for 5 days. Never did an officer talk to me. The food delivery person asked why I stopped eating and told him such. He went and got me a phone call and that's how I got out. The food deliverer is more ethical than the devils who run the place.

My son has told me he never wants to go back but that he will miss the staff and some kids he met there. When I went to visit, I could sit right by him and rub his back... I felt sad for my son but knew he was facing his consequences there. It seemed low key during visiting but i don't know how he felt when he had to go back to where he came from. Another positive I noticed was he was attending school inside the facility.

Lots of spineless white people that only want your money and make a point of looking out for white people first. Black people are 7.2 times more likely to be cited for non-violent infractions in this city. Believe it and count on the cops coming up with more excuses than solving problems or making arrests when Black people are the victims. Non-White services have been great here however. From car repair, law offices, and food services, always having nice and friendly people that you'll make a point of seeing again and again. Nightlife leaves a lot to be desired.

Rainier!!)! The people are ridiculously nice, and having quite a few retirement communities & well regarded schools, Des Moines has a friendly & accessible social environment. Downtown Des Moines has a mix of new boutique restaurants & community owned stores. On the 4th on July there's a marina fireworks show & mid summer there's a truly charming parade, local carnival, & farmers market. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Des Moines to anyone as a great place to visit & an ever better place to live!

Due to my sexiness, I was able to seduce the female guard into letting me smoke a cigarette before being locked away. And due to my hilarity, I was able to make the deputy administering the breath-test to get it wrong, making it inadmissible in court. Bonus! There's a healthy amount of pornography pasted to the underside of the bottom bunk in each cell and the staff is more than happy to give you a cell on your own should one be available. Another bonus is that, unless you're a 100LB methhead, it's likely you'll be bigger and better at fighting than anyone in your block. Hooray! My only complaint is the rude 5AM wake-up time, poor game/book selection and grubby telephone that didn't really work.
