Sedgwick County Jail Reflection

On April 14th at approximately 0900 hours I, deputy Sulima and deputy J performed a scheduled Court Order transfer of an inmate Kelly from CJTC to Western Hospital.

I accompanied Officer Efrain Rueda while transporting Jackson to Sedgwick County Jail. We left Wichita State University at 1642 hours and arrived at the jail at 1656 hours. While at the Jail I helped Officer Rueda inventory Jackson belongings and helped complete other necessary paperwork. We began inventorying

I am comparing the Wabash county and Miami county jails. I’m comparing that Wabash is linear and Miami is a pod system, the capacity between the two jails, and the visitation. The capacity at the Wabash county jail is not very much. The visitation isn’t that great either.

The Allen county old jail was made in 1869 and operated continuously until 1958. The Iola jail was made of an old two-story structure that was built of native limestone and was home to many notorious criminals

West County Detention Jail Facility is located in Contra Costa County (5555 Giant Hwy, Richmond, CA.) and it is the primary jail for the county. The prison has a capacity up to 1,104 inmates. There are five different housing areas, one for females and four for males. Inmates serving time in this facility are either awaiting trial or have been already sentenced in the Contra Costa County Court System for a period of time of one year or less. Opened in 1991, WCDF is the newest of the detention facilities in the County of Contra Costa.

While traveling on Seneca on the way to the jail, Officer Tabor was relayed that Marijuana and Paraphernalia were located inside the vehicle by Officer Shelite. These items were found while Officer Shelite was conducting the inventory of the vehicle prior to the arrival of the tow truck that would depart with the vehicle. After this was relayed to Officer Tabor, Pracht stated that she was hot and Officer Tabor rolled down the back windows for her to cool off by. Officer Tabor and Pracht arrived at the Sedgwick County Jail at 0254 hours on 25

The Wabash county Jail and the Miami County Jail are both so different in so many ways. Wabash County Jail was built in 1979; this jail is 36 years old. Being 36 years old has made this jail a little bit out dated. This jail should only hold up to 72 inmates. The visitor center, for the inmate’s family is a boxed in room that is divided by a wall and a window. The Miami Jail was built in 2009. The Miami Jail is only 6 years old. It is updated and has an inmate holding rate of 240. The Visitor center is all done virtually. Each cell block has a virtual screen that has a phone attached to it.

STEUBEN COUNTY (WENY) - For the second year in a row the Steuben County Jail is taking advantage of its courtyard by turning it into a giant garden. It's part of the county's inmate garden program. "It's therapeutic. It's very relaxing and it's a learning experience and helps you gain knowledge about planting and what you can and can't plant around here in the soils," explains Steuben County Jail inmate, Jeffrey Duell.

Wabash County jail was built in 1979, making it older than Miami County jail by 30 years. This facility holds 72 inmates at full capacity while Miami County holds 240, making it significantly smaller in size. Despite the differences, there are some similarities involving housing, visitation, and environmental conditions.

Upon arriving to Fresno County Jail, I had few expectations of the environment. My initial thought was there was going to be a ton of screaming and disorderly conduct just to scare us. I did not see anyone screaming towards us or anyone trying to fight us. I did see lots of gang sign thrown at us and few remarks to the correctional officers, but it wasn’t bad. The facility was dirty and smelt bad. Our tour guide officer told us that they have mice and other pesticide problem due to inmates taking their food to their bunks and leaving it there for a few days. One thing that amazed me was the underground tunnel because I would have never thought a county jail would have one. The underground tunnel is used to transport inmates to court.

King begins his first paragraph responding back to the clergymen about the statements given towards him.

When we were told that we would be going into Muscogee County Jail to interview inmates, I had many mixed emotions: anxious, excited, curiosity. When registering for this class, I was not told what I would be doing while taking this course so being told we were going in the jail was pretty shocking and surprising. I remember sitting there and thinking how am I, someone who is not even a criminal justice major (I am a sociology major), suppose to have a conversation with an inmate about what is going on within the system not knowing anything about the system. The feeling of inadequacy was real and led to a state of confusion and thinking I couldn't relate to these inmates or do the job I was sent in there to do.

This question was the initiation of my first interaction upon returning to my legal intern position with the Scott King Group law firm for the second summer in a row. At the time, I had never even seen a Petition for Expungement, nor did I fully understand what it was or what purpose it served. I had certainly never through the process of constructing one on my own. When I responded to the above question in the negative the associate attorney immediately handed me a client’s file and a hardcover copy of the Indiana Code. I was then left with nothing but a few words of encouragement and the overbearingly dreadful feeling that I was going to end my first day on a bad note that would set the tone for the remainder of the summer if I was not entirely

With that being said I want to continue with the jail story I was not able to contact anyone using the collect call pin number. You can imagine the feeling when you’re in a situation such as this when there is no one to contact. However I continued to get in contact with the officers each half hour the officers would pass by our cells for a routine walk and on many occasions I would ask them or remind them that the pin number that I was given did not work. Many of them would insincerely say that they would check on that pin number for me but most of them would never return. On other occasions some of the officers would give me a request form to fill out in which I was able to request a pin number that works, or somehow put money on my own books

The choice to take a Sociology course was on a whim. I decided that I would take it at the last minute because I needed another class to fill the space and because I found the idea of it interesting. While the class is definitely interesting, the best part about the course so far has been our visit to the Sumner County jail. The experience allowed me to see what the lectures and textbook readings look like outside of the classroom, and to see a slice of what its really like inside of a jail.
