I'm reviewing the historic Mono County Jail, not the newer facility…read more It's a fun place for a quick stop to take the kids and let them experience "jail" while passing through town. Granted, the old jail is probably scarier than the new, but still a good place to get the kids "scared straight." The old jail is a small building which houses a few dank cells and one small wide open shower. The kids thought it was fun, adults found it mildly interesting from a historic perspective. Worth a look if you are nearby, but don't make a special trip to see it. 3 stars.

When you spend enough time in Mammoth, a ski town, you or someone you know is bound to end up in at…read morethe good ole Mono County Jail aka Bridgeport B & B. In the words of the great Mike Ness: "It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks Where the country moon shines." Yeah, it's in BFE so when you get the call to pick someone up after an especially egregious skiing out of bounds issue, a DIP or a DUI, it's close to an hour long haul up to the county seat to drag their sorry asses back home. On the bright side, the deputies have so little to do they will shoot the shit with you and even tell tales of what your friend did during the arrest/while in the tank. I've heard that they let the women stay up late to watch SNL. But the food, well...meh. But there is a special dietetic menu for those inmates who are watching their carbs. More from Mr. Ness: "Well it's cold and it's clammy Man, it's colder than a pimp's heart But I've gotta do my time There's a lesson to be learned here but what a price to pay. You know, I may never learn" Also - this is where Sean Penn stayed when he went to jail for punching a paparazzi when married to Madonna. He paid extra to have the privilege to do time here rather than in LA County. If only Paris Hilton did the same thing - she could have talked to the lady who got busted for trying to smoke a tea bag by sticking it into a light socket.

It's amazingly eerie. The dirty mattresses are still there. If you pay attention to the walls, you can read notes from past inmates. The courthouse (built in 1880) is gorgeous and photographs very well. I absolutely recommend finding the time to walk around the grounds - it's a quick stop. There is a coffee shop a block away so I grabbed some cold brew and took a morning stroll. Very thankful that I did since I might never return to Bridgeport again.

Evidence ignored in traffic appeal at Mono County Superior Court Appellate Division (Mammoth Lakes…read moreCourthouse) I appealed a speeding ticket (Vehicle Code 22349(b)) all the way to the Appellate Division. I submitted clear, specific evidence straight from the official CHP Radar Operator's Manual showing serious foundational problems with the radar used by Officer Nyland: - The unit had not been professionally calibrated for over a year. - It was operated on an incline with interference from trees, rocks, and a raging river. - The officer turned off the Doppler/audio sound, which violates standard procedures. On February 25, 2026, Judge Mark Magit affirmed the conviction anyway. The decision only mentioned the officer's testimony that he checked the unit at the start and end of his shift and completely failed to address or analyze the CHP manual evidence I provided. I completed the online traffic school and paid the reduced fine after showing I am disabled and unemployed. The process felt completely one-sided. Mind you, I've never had a speeding ticket in my 43 years of driving. If you're fighting a radar-based ticket in Mono County, document everything. I am also filing a formal complaint with the California Commission on Judicial Performance (CJP) so others know this option exists when key evidence appears to be ignored. On top of the appeal issues, I've had ongoing problems with court communications. Most clerks acted like they were doing me a favor, with constant clerical mistakes, poor attitudes, and delays. One major issue early on: I requested an extension for a court date, but it sat on the DA's desk past the deadline, resulting in a failure-to-appear finding until I complained directly to Court Executive Officer Lester Perpall. This experience left a very bad taste. Drivers dealing with Mono County traffic court -- especially radar cases -- should be prepared. Justice isn't always served.

Always use Mammoth Business Essentials... use caution with USPS in the eastern Sierra (as y'all already know).

If you're passing through or staying nearby, this is a great place to get out of the sun for some peace, quiet and modern conveniences. To say nothing of all the books they gave here, too.
