I was in the camden county jail myself. Trust me you never want to have to spend a night in that place. When I was there I had gotten a boil on my eye the medical team there was definately not sufficient. I put a slip in before it got bad and four days later my eye was completely closed. They took me to the hospital and they put me on medication it turned out I was allergic to me so the jail nursing staff took me off it like they were supposed to do but did not put me on anything else so it continued to get worse to the point I had lost the vision in the eye. Then they put me in the medical area with pregnant women to expose it to them. They had told me they thought it was MRSA which everyone knows how deadly that can be to put me in with those pregnant women was a very foolish thing to do. If you ask me someone really needs to go into that place and teach that nursing staff what really should be done in medical cases like that. I realize that they had to take me out of population but really they should have put me in isolation so I would not expose that to other women. Not only were the nursing staff in the place disrespectful but so were a lot of the correctional officers. Granted we may have done something that warranted us to be there in some cases however we do have rights. I am not sure if anyone else has ever written about their abuse before but I feel it was time that someone stepped up to the plate. Thank you for letting me put my opinion over the web.
Pros: It definately showed me I never want to go back there
Cons: It is so dirty there, and most of the people who work there are disrespectful
