Gilmer County Jail
Our Local Jail
So our jail is not so prestigious and is not a gated community of any sort. The place places you on a diet as they restrict food resources, they serve bologna sandwiches once a day either for lunch or supper, the days alternate. Their inmates with medical conditions may as well forget it because I have a diabetic friend was not allowed his daily required doses of insulin as "they" those with no medical degree didn't see the need for more than 2 doses a day.
Communication with the outside world is minimal due to the phones being turned off most of the day with the excuse that court is in session and their are other inmates in transit even though court isn't held daily and most in the women's dorm that couldn't bond out due to whatever reason rarely took the trip to court. You have no privacy to shower or use the toilet and there are men mostly working in the tower that overlooks all and can see all. It's loud and obnoxious and you don't get much sleep at night.
They do however hold AA meetings once a week and have the church volunteers come by. As far as any rehabilitation going on there is none either in our county jails or in state prisons. All these places do is generate funds for either our government or the private owners. They only institutionalize those that spend time there and it carries over when they are released making it tougher on them to be successful when released.
This is Admin and these are my opinions.
Our Local Legal System
Our legal system has been corrupted. Our forefathers are rolling over in their graves with what has become our legal system that governs our present society. They produced the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for the right reasons and our modern day government has bent, sretched and poked it so far out of shape that nobody can even begin to interpret or use any of them as a guide. Many judges see things in different ways and that is good to a point but for the most part, they decipher it based on a blanket assumption which most times is guilty.
So I say to our legal system. Sometimes people have been done wrong by your esteemed crews that are in place to protect and serve. Sometimes these people in power are corrupt, don't do things as they should and all for who knows what. Maybe it's to make a name for themselves or maybe just to continue being a bully like they have always been, who knows? Nonetheless, they are wrong sometimes. Maybe if you considered that more often your courts wouldn't be so overwhelmed.
