Been to both. More times than I could remember. Jail smells worse than the prisons. The food in prison was better than the jails. I could not imagine working full time in either one!

I've been in tons of jails and prisons. Rochester city, no bueno lax security, definitely a "what could happen"
attitude by guards. Onondaga/syracuse-ee not that great; extraction teams riding in the elevator with you, a bunch of rural jails, mostly inmates not looking for trouble and nice good ole boy guards. The rural jail in the same county is fine. Elmira prison-intake wing with "new" (or returning) inmates was a pretty impressive 19th century style prison with burning toilet paper and screaming inmates. Rest of the prison was also pretty serious and so were some of the inmates. Toured it as part of a lawsuit in the 80s. Pretty interesting Attica-I was only on the outside. Awesome tough looking prison newer prisons in NY of various security levels-look mostly like public schools built in the 60s from the outside on a low budget and with razor wire. Never been near the cells. Used to go down in the pods in the local jail all the time and meet with inmates in rooms normally used for broom closets. Stood around and talked to inmates I knew in the pod *Different time. It was a horrible security liability issue but didn't become a big deal u til there were more female lawyers doing criminal work and the inmates were jerks to them. That was the end of that *when I was younger and single I'd go down to the jail on Friday evening and talk to all my guys. Ended up standing around or sitting at a table in the pod with inmates shooting the shit. In a small town you see the same guys all the time and run into them on the street or out in the bars. In the 90s I remember seeing a bunch of guys I knew playing poker and was surprised as they were either petty crooks or harmless dummies. I sat with them and they were all in jail for nonpayment of child support. Guys got jailed for that all the time years ago. Now? Almost never |

I toured Cook County Jail when I was in high school for my law class. That was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow. One inmate caught another charge for exposing himself to the girls in my class. We had a pizza party after the "field trip." Interesting day.

It's loud all of the freaking time, 3 am....loud, I think that is why I couldn't do a long stretch the constant yelling would have me wanting to hurt someone. It reminded me of the time I visited the zoo in the 3rd grade and we got to where the chimps was housed, it sounded similar to this.

I've been booked into jail and bonded out twice, both for bullshit charges.
The first time was after a business partner and I decided to part ways. He attempted to keep me from retrieving my suppressors from the property, so I put my hands on his chest, pushed him out of the way, got my shit, and called the cops. The deputy got there and I told him what happened. The former partner wanted me arrested and the deputy told him no crime had been committed by me. After the deputy and i both left, dude went to the sheriff's office and told his side to a detective, where he was once again told no crime had been committed. So, he walked out to the magistrate and swore out a warrant. I found out a week later and spoke with the deputy. He had me turn myself in at the start of his next shift so he could talk to the magistrate. I had to pay a small bond and the charges were eventually retired by the DA when the guy was talking to the DA and started acting crazy. The second time was October 2020 when my now ex-wife filed false DV charges in an attempt to get ahead in the divorce. I spent 12 hours in jail and had to live on bail until June 2021 when the DA dropped the charges after the divorce was final. I also spent several months working in a jail. Fuck jail. |

Not fun, very dirty and dangerous, but you can make friends if you're cool and get a nickname too. Tattoos are pretty cheap, but you will need several ramen "soups" and maybe a snickers bar or bag of refried beans. Also you might get poisoned from the "food" and/or contract TB/HepC/Scabies/Staph... The towels are small too... like the size of a washrag.. and you only get one pillow. Playing card games like Spades helps pass the time, but dont get into debt with anyone.
Overall, I'd give county jail a 2/10. |
