Essex County Sheriff's Dept. Reviews

Entrapping with plain clothed officers with the cross walk scam

the religious director Mr. Paul is prejudice against other religions. He is a catholic and should be ashamed of himself. Recently the muslim cleric left the facility for good because Mr. paul was not allowing himt to have access to the cell blocks, but other religious leaders had been allowed. This person Mr.Paul is not for reform in the spiritual sense unlesss you are catholic. I also will say more inmates went to islamic classes than BIBLE study and this bothered him alot. Most people that go to church use it as gang meetings. Muslims are taught the difference between a terrorist or group such as isis, (created by the U.S.) and a true muslim who respects other faiths and makes up for sins after seeking forgiveness. The islamic classes also taught sobriety and love for self and humanity. EVERYONE WILL MISS IMAAM ABDEL, Maybe i will call the vatican to complain. True islam spreads by love and words, not bt taking over countries and stealing natural resources then sending in the red cross and unicef. SPREADS BY WORDS NOT THE SWORD. BUT LET ME KNOW MR. DAN LAWSON IF YOU WANT TO DEBATE ME SMART GUY.

Judges ...cold hearted.workers.. not need for ignorance!!! We are all human. Nobody should judge..it may be one of there family members one day!!!! I have met a small handful who are very good at what they do.!! Thank you to them!

They are so rude watch one day your family member is on the other side and I hope you receive the same treatment y all give NO EFFORT NO CARES GIVEN JUST RUDE.

Keep sending mail back for ridiculous reasons. Visiting time is too short. Lot of time wasted waiting for prisoners in visiting room

All the guards are soft, they stand behind the german shepards like there a tough guy,they charge ridiculous rates on the phone and cantene, ABSOLUTELY NO REHABILITATION so expect every person to leave there the way they went in except with alot more connections to other cities, towns ext.

Terrible experiences. It takes too long to explain on this forum but essentially policies and procedures have loopholes for admins and CO's to arrogantly enforce rules or deny family and friends, inmate visitations; an essential activity for inmates emotional and psychosocial mental health.
Essex County Sherriff's office regularly discourages visitations. CO's eagerly (in my case with a huge grin), effectively and happily deny visits. For example the "inmate visit schedule", if you're like me, unfamiliar with correctional facility language/abbreviations then even your best educated guess will only get you running in circles for weeks on the phone with arrogant employees and outdated telephone prompts etc..

I'll post later on the detox unit. Canteen and phone calls.

Sad place.

*Calling all narcissist's to please apply for a CO position at Middleton jail. Doesn't pay well but if you get your rocks off bullying addicts, and basically anybody, then you need to apply here.

Peace

Records Department Does a Great Job Of Coordinating Reviews ......................

I always tell everybody about my deafness. The visiting staff need to learn to listen and not insult a hard of hearing deaf person. bellowing out louder is rude and disrespectful. I asked if he could look at me as he spoke in a normal manner, He refused and continued to now Yelling at me, I can not read lips if someone keeps screaming at me, I eventual left in tears. Even the "ladies" behind the glass partition were to busy gabbing to listen. I also told them please, do not yell through the quarter size hole and to speak looking at me. Again total rudeness, and they too were put off at such a request.
Ratings are a negative 5 stars. I eventually left in tears and did not get to visit my son.
I was a visitor not a convict/inmate.

You'll starve without canteen and they keep Boro sentenced and our trial inmates together which is illegal, they are constantly overcrowded but get paid more per inmate than the fine costs & they keep the foods in the yard during movements which is an inimdation technique and is illegal. They also only give you 1 T shirt, pair of underwear (if your lucky) &a Pastore of socks when yoy should get 3 of reach so you habe to wear the Dane clothes every day for about the 1st 2 weeks. Finally the infirmary is a joke when you mix it with intake and half the images are such while the others are hyper and bouncing sound the tiny room with no windows your locked down in 23 hours a day.

As a person who has never been involved with the law this is my first and hopefully my Kay encounter with this jail, the jail is a joke, the visits are encouraged again a joke, I ve seen elderly people, children on Xmas denied access from see their loved ones, the staff are overly confident and cold. The visits are never on time and you are lucky if they last for the full 30 Mins, ( ex my visit was cut to 15mins on Christmas ). They are constantly locking the inmates down ( the whole block) verse the person committing the violation, honestly this jail does nothing to help the inmates reform or advance. And literally exploit the family and friends for so much money with high cost in phone calls and food . When I say I hate this jail this is a understatement !

Stupid place always sends me my mail back! Like really? What's the real address.? Idiots
