I absolutely enjoy my stay in prison. It was more enjoyable than i thought. Showers were clean, breaskest has a decent spread. Kitchen was clean. Staff was great to deal with. Waking up to construction being done on my floor not so great. But understandable.

Very quaint place - lots of character!! They’ve kept just enough of the old facility to give you the sense of actually being in a jail, but everything else is modern. Ample kitchen space and dining areas. Very very clean - spotless!! Very comfortable place to stay. I had the 2 person room with bunk beds.

The kitchen was fully functional and clean with bright lighting. It has thewhole prison set up just as advertised. I don't know if they have bathrooms, although I didn't ask but the washrooms are clean and fresh. I was in CEL 813. 😅😅 I strongly recommend.
