In 22 years, Jim Cummings says no one has ever asked him why “Sheriff’s Inmate” is printed on all prisoner uniforms -- one of many comments and observations.
Ms. Rorro is completely correct with her account of time spent in Sheriff Cummings jail. Having spent 5 months there myself in 2015...I can assure you that women’s civil rights are clearly violated. They talk of “programs” but there are none to speak of...maybe a weekly AA meeting at most. Mothers (and fathers) can only see their infants or children through thick glass...no contact visits...ever...except for your attorney. It’s inhumane. There is no going outside at all for women...the room he speaks of has windows which are 2 stories high. No fresh fruit or vegetables...the food is a soy based product which is tasteless. Women can’t work in the kitchen or outside jobs...only men can. The list is endless. I applaud Ms. Rorro’s speaking out...most who leave are on parole or probation and fear speaking out. Thank-you for article. A county jail is for lower level crimes...but the facility was created as a maximum security men’s prison.

Prison sounds miserable, maybe don’t go… 🤷♂️
