Estrella Women's Jail

Estrella Women's Jail

This is a place to call home. Food is terrific. I recommend it to anyone committing criminal…read moreactivity. No worries for anything you'll be well taken care. Of

The condiotion of the jail reminded me of what I learned concentration camps were like and what…read moreit's like for illegal aliens who cross the border and await getting picked up for where they will work and live. That's the best example in can give. What needs to improve?.....Everything. Staff retraining, medical staff screened, dietary review, program coordinating. The pod I was on was over 120 girls on bunk beds in one room. There where fruit flies all times of the day covering the toilets,vents,drains,and bunk beds. The issue or black mold exposure is real and putting women at risk for sure. Eight showers in one room, eight toilets in another, and that's where flash backs or Hitler documentaries and concentration camps flash before my eyes.. No curtains or doors,no privacy.You eat on your bunk,live on your bunk,during my week stay we never even were given the option of an hour of reck time for fresh air even once. There are no programs available besides GED except in your tablet which I couldn't take advantage of because I was never provided headphones even though I wrote multiple requests for them. Medical treatment is scary here, I watched many women become sickly during my stay, symptoms not taken seriously,illnesses being overlooked. The way the staff address the inmates is constantly demeaning and ignorant, in could go as far as say almost as inhumane as what were served every night for dinner.. That's the biggest difference I recognized between this jail and corp civic in Florence. I can't believe it was acceptable to staff to crack jokes on inmates for missing teeth,being overweight, or struggling from withdrawal. It's was just a big joke to the officers,everything was. You have to do chores to get a clean outfit...leaving withdrawing women without a blanket or sheet and in the same soiled clothes even after begging for help.You are fed twice a day,the same meal every day is served for both breakfast and dinner; I pray for the women who have been sitting in county for years. If most of the women in here either struggle with mental issues or addiction I don't see how sentencing someone to experience a situation like this can help them to improve their lifestyle or become a better functioning member of society.

When I was first introduced to the "systemic" processes involved in incarceration, Intake Transfer and Release (ITR) wasn't even a thing. I'm sure in some ways, it has streamlined aspects of booking and release. For example, if someone is processed, they'll likely be released through ITR. It's also evidently where you go to collect an inmate's property--if the "tank order" has been properly submitted. Although not the same place to pick up property for someone who is no longer in custody. That's a big if, especially given the ongoing staffing shortages. Delays are common, and miscommunication is rampant. Yes, public parking is located in the pickup lot, even for property retrieval. Security staff were kind and helpful, but the Detention Officers (DOs) assisting with property seemed understandably frustrated with the process. When I visited, they told me they hadn't received the tank order that had supposedly been submitted the previous week. I asked for clarification and got little more than a shrug. The MCSO website states the public must bring the tank order to property pickup--but according to staff, that's outdated information. Something felt off, so I went to the jail myself to retrieve the tank order. When I returned to ITR with it, a more informed DO finally explained what had happened. Here's the thing--not every inmate is a repeat offender who understands this complex, often contradictory system. My loved one is a first-time detainee with no knowledge of these procedures. In this case, confusion was made worse by the fact that he was immediately placed under a 72-hour watch and never informed that he could release cash in his possession to an outside party. There's a 24-hour window to do this--but if you're under watch and no one tells you, how would you know? According to a supervising DO, many staff members are new and still learning the process themselves. Unfortunately, this leads to inconsistent information being given to the public--often confidently, but incorrectly. In my experience, some DOs would rather pass on misinformation than admit they're unsure or ask someone more knowledgeable. This creates a troubling cycle: inaccurate information is passed down and repeated until someone takes the time to correct it--if ever. Bottom line: ITR is one of those places no one wants to be, but you might find yourself needing to go there anyway. If you do, be patient, double-check everything, and trust your gut when something feels off. You may have to advocate harder than seems reasonable--but you're not alone in that.

There was a time I would have been the duchess here! This isn't only a court that sentences…read moreconsequences to juveniles. They also are a family court. We used Durango when we were foster parents. We also used to gain permanent guardianship two different times and adopt our two daughters. We also used the court to adopt our foreign exchange student from China. So yes they do international adoptions as well! The 3rd floor has a office that can provide you with guardianship paperwork. Sometimes it is free sometimes they charge so have cash on hand. I am pretty savvy so we didn't need a lawyer. One was appointed to us by the state since the parent was wanting us to adopt and had filled out all necessary paperwork. Commitioners run the benches. Ask ahead those commissioners who have a kind rep and you can request them for your family case. In college I sat in on a lot of cases here for a class for 3 months and found the commissioners to be no nonsense yet full of grace. They really give a lot of chances in many cases until they see repetitive behavior. Then they start giving more severe consequences. They will even request behavioral health evaluations for those who are repeat offenders to make sure mental health isn't a factor getting more help for them. Sometimes commissioners can be not as gifted in family court as they are with criminal cases. You can always request another commissioner. They do sometimes have surveys. You can also talk with front desk about giving feedback as well. I found this facility to be full of caring people who really care about juveniles and families. They taught me a lot about when I was young not to be judgy and to be kind, even when it is difficult. Make sure you have all necessary paperwork filled out correctly. There are fees when filing the paperwork you will pay that are minimal.

It's a sad place to be, court rooms are clean yet sterile. Be there early as most of the…read moresuperintendents do not take kind to waiting. Make sure you have all of your child's paperwork, even if they have an attorney. Missing paperwork slows everything down for the rest and pisses off the court room staff.
