After last year’s less-than-stellar interaction with visitation officer M, I prepared to dehydrate myself prior to the first food visit of 2024.

Why? Officer M made us all line up in mass to use the restroom during the visit and frisked us in the line for good measure. That took 30 minutes out of your visit. So for an afternoon visit, I would deprive myself of fluids just to avoid that demeaning event.

This year two wonderful smiling officers managed the helm for 2024! They processed visitors and inmates with respect and precision. The inmates were treated like real people and allowed to use the restroom when nature called. (Not when some grumpy guard felt like letting them.) Conversations around the microwave confirmed outside visitors were enjoying the new staff too.

This website gives a round of applause to Phillips and Watt for a job well done!
