Finally someone is exposing them! Seems like you readers have no regard whatsoever for the concept of innocent until proven guilty, so I will tell you about what it is like to be a visitor. I have been a visitor for over a year. I am not allowed to wear prescription eye glasses. WHY? It's a video visit! The guards make rude and disparaging remarks to me regarding my place of birth! WHY? Telling me that only bad people from the dark side live there! How does my place of birth factor into the video visit? Refusal to allow me to use the ladies room! Why? They took my ID, verified it about 6 times and would not give me the key to the ladies room! This led to an embarrassing accident that left me in tears! Why was I treated like that? They did not laugh at that one. Nope, instead he screamed at me! Inmates are only allowed to shave certain days certain times which by the way is never for visiting hours, so every mother gets to see her child chained like an animal, unable to sit up strait because the cuffs are so tight, and they are unshaven and look frightful. During the video visit, they bring them in when they feel like it and have no respect for how long we have been waiting often locked in a room! While you are trying to talk to your loved one for the 30 minutes, one of them is pacing back and forth like a dog in heat making us afraid of what they will do next! And they laugh about that too! They are worried sick about what sort of barrette I have in my hair for a video visit! When my car broke down, 7 of them passed me and not one offered to help me! One did get out of his car and tell me that I was in an unsafe neighborhood, and then he jumped back in his car and took off... leaving me, stranded and now scared half out of my mind. They are a disgrace to the criminal justice system.I have sat in that waiting room as those awful people refuse to release someone even after bail has been posted. WHY? How can they get away with that? They have zero regard for humanity as evidenced by the treatment of the VISITORS! If a Spanish speaking person asks a question at the window, they reply loudly as if the person were deaf with "Huh", over and over again until I finally stood up and said, "Do you have an interpreter? She is not deaf; she does not speak the language! That was someone's mother being treated that way in the visiting area! No criminal, just a female visitor! They lack basic manners and trust me, no one in the waiting room is a gang member!
That excuse of not being able to handle gang members is pitiful. Fire this sadistic crew and get someone who knows how to do the job without dehumanizing everyone they meet!
