'The best way to earn the publics trust.'
Not a phrase I would associate with a conversation about jail.

"innocent until proven guilty"

I think it's cool the way they made the video move with your hand so you can see the whole jail! Maybe other jails should do the same! Other jails should also follow Cook County jail as far as releasing 2k inmates on ankle monitors with non violent criminal cases still pending. Florida last year just put the 65% of time served in affect verses the 85% prior which Cook County was 1of the first to implement that as well. Thank God for a lot of my co non violent drug offender friends here in Florida but I do believe they should release 2k inmates if not more as well on ankle monitors. As long as they're not violent offenders. The meth & fentanyl epidemic is huge here in Florida & I believe we need to build more rehabs. Jail does nothing for these inmates who are basically self victimless criminals. They are only hurting themselves which then hurts the families however only emotionally or financially not violently! I hope Florida will learn from Chicago & California! God Bless!

That low level 750 is ''div 4 dorm 4''. It used to be div 2 dorm 4 until they hit a lawsuit and just decided to play musical chairs with the numbering classification to somehow mitigate lawsuit damages I suppose because that building is supposed to be shutdown like a decade ago. That place is loaded with crack and dope.

When I was detained as a kid and as a adult they talk about what are we going do when we get out or what will I do different instead of how can I deal with stress or these everyday situations that make me loose control

Been there and I will tell you right here and now that those scanners don't work one bit They really believe that they have a grip on the inmates, but more than half of the officers have ties or are involved with the inmates that they are spouse to be guarding.

Two years in jail and he still isn't convicted of a crime. Seems like a state crime.

[citypopradioFM]

Show cameras in Division 9 to make a point how these jail systems are monstrous.

[sssnipermonkey]

This video is not showing the truth. I seen things in there that were seriously disturbing.

Any prison is not marmalade, you can look at it and reform it endlessly, but it will not be sweet in your mouth ...
