Take a virtual tour of the Pierce County Jail

Показать описание

Have you ever wondered what the inside of our jail looks like? What is the booking process like? How many inmates can the jail hold? Wonder no more... today, Corrections Deputy Rachel Smith will guide you through the jail, showing you the booking area, release, the kitchen, a unit in the new jail, a unit in the old jail, and more.

NOTE: All inmates shown in this video gave permission for our crew to film them. Most were more than happy to be part of our production.

I was there between 2012 and 2017. Very well organized jail. Staff is good, kitchen is clean, everything's in place. Would recommend and would go back in again. 10/10.

As a 31 year old inmate at the pierce county main jail, this video has brought the precise kind of information i have experienced first hand. As relevant this is to me and currently my entire life, its still useful to learn as much as possible about my captors so that i may one day be able to escape from this line of work!

Nice to see what a U.S. Jail looks like, and to see the differences to our Prisons. Best regards from a german CO.

I definitely do not miss my time in prison…
I spent almost 4 years in on a 5 yr sentence in Maryland prison system. I’ve been home 18 years and am NOT going back. I have a wife and two kids that rely on me to do well and make a living.

I worked at two different jails here in Maricopa County, one was 2, 000 bed 12 story high rise facility with the first floor as administration, kitchen, and other offices, the 2nd and 3rd held 4 housing units with 4 pods each, the 4th held Visitation, both medium and maximum, Security Control, and medical to include an in patient 20 bed infirmary, the 5th and 6th floors held Juvenile, administrative segregation and closed custody housing 4 housing units with 4 pods each. That was the Madison Street Jail. the next I worked in a 240 bed Psychiatric unit with 6 housing units and a new infirmary that could handle everything except surgeries where they would be transported under armed officers to Maricopa Medical Center which had it's own secure hospital ward for serious cases where the inmates might require intensive care. At one point our jails had over 10, 000 inmates incarcerated with in all 6 of our jails.

As an 78 year old english teacher in Ukraine, this video has brought information I would've never been able to get from my job, or possibly ever would've never been able to get in my life! As irrelevant it is to me and my entire life, it is useful to have information for things, just in case.

Deputy Smith, been driving past this center for what 35 years now? always wondered what happened behind the walls of the facility. I do have some experience working with police as I used to provide property security for police departments. Good to see the low level offenders are able to cohabitant with other offenders it reminds me so much of being in basic training.

As someone who works in a facility that's the juvenile equivalent, this amazes me that it's not all that different. Some of ours sit in cells, some of them are able to walk around campus in their own clothes. Half of our residents are also foster care kids so it's interesting to also see the difference in behavior and attitudes between foster care children and children that are inmates (I don't like referring to them as such, they're all my kids regardless of if they're there for foster care placement or if they're incarcerated with us)

I was in jail in Phoenix, Az and it was about 26 years ago. I hated how it smelled. It smelled like pine sol but worse. Hard to explain. Went one time and never went back, been a good girl.
