i remember hearing that other city and county jails would tell their inmates "Well, look on the bright side. At least you're not going to Harris County".

Man this place is truly hell on earth, literally never seen so many fights and beatings in my life

I went there once. They treated me like a criminal. 1/10 would not recommend.

Far easier to get in than it is to get out.

14 years ago I was in this horrific place. Just seeing those doors gives me PTSD. 😯

If you know you're getting bailed out within a week, DON'T DRINK THE WATER BOI.
You'll be shitting non stop. I swear they funnel the water in there straight from the bayou 😂😭

Food though, 10/10. Comes in styrofoam containers. I got BBQ pulled pork, Hot butter roll and another side I think was rice.
Cleanliness, nearly medical.
I was on floor 3 though.
Inmates: Will treat you as you treat them. I was a small 160lb white kid who kept cracking jokes making all those huge black dudes doing presses on the benches laughing. So I had a good time.
I don't feel shitty being happy about my experience there, My case was dismissed because I really was innocent.
+ I got to explore jail which is something I think we're all weirdly curious of.

This concludes my Yelp review of the Harris County Jail.
10/10 would jail again.

[brandonupkins]

The windows that you see is in the new building that they built the old building is what they really need to show. That’s where the drama goes on at

[xchrisx]

this guy contradicted himself it should be just as hard getting out as getting in getting in is easy

Shit, the way things are going for me I might end up here. Might as well take a look at my future home.

This is long overdue! Harris County Police have been assaulting people for years. I, my brother and a friend spent the weekend in jail there for no reason! That Monday the Judge released us stating "I don't even know why you are here"! One cop actually racked our friend who sued and won. The Houston PD sucks the big one and the Feds should have investigated long ago! We were arrested after the pig asked for ID and saw that we were from out of state. We were abused, assaulted and illegally held for being visitors and for no other reason!

Bubble guts...bubble guts...bubble... bubble...bubble...bubble guts...
