Avenal State Prison-Department of Corrections Reviews

It could have been a bit better... needs tending and more trees... the buildings are okay but need better food selections.

The place is awesome, dropping the soap was a great game to play and a learning experience.Last but not least, the free food is delicious.

Not lon g ago I being there.well that rules change according title 115 for visitors.So please go to internet to have more inf.

This place sucks. You can't even leave smh "land of the free"

Need help, my hubby is transferring here.
Do I need to reapply for approval in visiting?
What are the rules for example (clothing, colors exct)?
Is there nice safe hotels near by?
Days the prisons allows visits?

Friendly staff, delicious food & great ambiance. Valet parking and a first class spa would just take it to the next level though.

This review is for any native or people of Latino descent applying for any job in the administration building. As soon as I arrived for an interview I was given a questionnaire to fill out by the person that was supposed to greet interviewees, only I didn't get a greeting. Instead I was met with a cold stare, no pleasantries and was immediately threatened over and over again that If I didn't disclose past criminal history I would get caught and prosecuted because their background checks are soooo thorough.

The funny thing was that the Caucasian female who had also come in for an interview for the same position was not given this same threat/warning and instead was greeted with a "red carpet" greeting, pleasantries and a warm smile.

So I wonder why I would get this threat when another person wouldn't, well it's not too hard to figure out why. The resume and documents I had sent in to apply for the position showed nothing but an impeccable record, and even a decorated military record of which I earned with honor. This fat, entitled, digusting land whale that "greeted" me probably has no idea of the meaning of that word, honor. As it took all the honor from me not to spit in the disgusting face of that land whale.

If you are of Latino background be ready to face discrimination if applying to the administration building in this place.

The staff assumes everyone knows what to do when visiting. Not everyone goes to a prison every day! Thank goodness for other visiting family members, I was so clueless. Desegregation aka population control should not even be happening. Can't wait for this place to no longer be a part of our lives.

Great food and friendly place nice service and clean
