Review of Harris County Sheriff's Office...

Jail is not supposed to be a place for comfort. Ho...

Jail is not supposed to be a place for comfort. However, not all, but MOST of the female employees on the 4th floor, specifically, are RUDE, INATTENTIVE, and seem as if they believe that they will never have to experience what it's like on the other side of the bars. I, unfortunately, had to stay here for 10 days. In those 10 days, I asked for 3 things. Soap, a form called I-60 (to go to the medical area), and medication (Ibuprofen) that had been given to me and taken away 2 days later in a RX bottle. Not 1 of those, reasonable, requests, were met. I was looked at and treated as if I were garbage. Keeping in mind that the guards there have to deal with many people who give them a hard time on a daily basis, I still cannot accept the way these employees treat the inmates. I've not made it a habit to be in jail. Yet, it seemed as if I, and others, are expected to just know what proper procedure is there. I felt as if I was expected to know how to do things, know where to go or stand when directed to. Especially if the direction I was given was a point of a finger or a specific "room" to go to. If I didn't understand what I was being told, I was talked to like I was beneath human when trying to ask for clarification.
Furthermore, in my "pod", I took note of an obviously, mentally ill person, whom I had seen walk around the "tank" for 3 days straight, talking to herself, with no sleep. I witnessed a female guard not only take some action to help the lady, but she came in the tank and engaged in provoking the inmate which ended in the inmate and guard getting into a physical altercation. I just cannot accept that a mentally ill person was not only overlooked and left untreated, was provoked by an employee who should have taken proper, more humane, preventative measures to prevent the eventual altercation. Wasn't that employee being paid to notice what I as an inmate had?
During my stay, I took the name of 2 guards. Sanders and Adolf, 4th floor Pod D. These two ladies are the ONLY employees who stood above and beyond what an employee of Harris County Jail should be. I am disgusted with the way the way this place is ran and I will be copying my review to each proper place on Google reviews.
