The justice center is horrible horrible horrible!! I went there yesterday for visitation and they took my information and told me to have a seat and that it would be a little bit of a wait and then I would be able to see my friend. There was no place to sit! People were sitting on coffee tables and I saw multiple elderly people sitting on the tile floors. So I stood against a wall and waited for my turn. Nearly 2 HOURS later!!! They finally called the last group to go back. The officer that called the names was very quiet and said the names really quick to where you could barely understand what she was even saying. She rolled her eyes at multiple people as if we were wasting her time. When she was leaving I asked if I had misheard one of the names she had said and if it was my friends name. She proceeded to scream at me in the waiting area and tell me that my friend was in restriction. The woman waiting on the other side of the room was even in shock. Very very rude and unprofessional!! They should have told me from the beginning because not only did I waste gas driving up there but I wasted 2 hours by standing against a wall and being belittled in front of everyone. \r
And there was even a mother of an inmate that complained after her visitation with her son that he had not received his glasses, prescription medication (that he has to have), or his money for his phone calls. And they told her that the reason he hadnt received anything was because he never asked for them. But at first they tried to tell her that the jail never received any of the items. But their story magically changed once she told them that they could go back on their security tapes and double check. What total bull crap!! This place is ridiculous!!
