This is a little insite from someone with a locked up loved one. It makes me sick to think there are some who want people like me to feel sorry for the guards working there because they are under staffed and never get a break and have such a hard time with working in the conditions they do. Let me tell you something. Yes the people in there are where they are because they did something they should not have. But that dont mean they should be treated badly and the loved ones that call or visit should be givin an attitude. Everyone that has ever called the record room will tell the same tale. THEY GET PAID TO ANSWER THE PHONE AND GIVE INFO. Not ignore the phone and give people who call the run around and then no info. It should not be a pulling teeth situation! Visits are just the same. Dont give me a hard time while Im trying to see someone. I come there it get in and out and dont need to be hassled because you cant find the inmate and or hes working/sleeping ect. You guards get paid VERY well to do your job. WE THE TAX PAYERS make sure you get paid well. If you dont have enough staff then get some and stop crying about it. I will not feel sorry for anyone that works at the jail because you choose that job and all you wanna do is complain about how hard it is. I do understand that some of the inmates make it hard but you were trained to deal with it! As for those VISITORS that start problems I must attack you too. You make it hard for all of us. They make sure that signs are posted what not to wear and bring with you. The times for visits and how to go about it. Maybe if those ungreatful visitors did what it took to get in and out we visitors wouldnt be givin such a hard time because there would be nothing to complain about. No one wants to be in this position but this is life and Our loved ones choose to have this life. If everyone just stopped and followed the rules we would all be better off!
