IMO,County jail is just a filthy holding cell for animals. Most people are there for under 6 months (some over) and so the entire atmosphere is one of a temporary nature. It's filthy, people piss all over the toilet in the cells, etc.

Can't disagree with that. Plus it was summer when I was there, and there was no air conditioning or fans. I was only there 4 days. I couldn't have imagined spending 6 months there. There were all races of people there. Some were real low lifes, but, I didn't get the feeling anyone was dangerous.

I've met some really dangerous people in county. But they just blend in well and aren't overly agressive -- they are sly and stealthy.

Race problems don't happen to much in county. Mostly short timers there on traffic tickets, misdemeanors, etc.

They usually put the felons in a separate lockdown facility. That's where things intensify.
