Juvenile Jail

Does anyone else get sent on as many jail assignments as me? Maybe I just pay more attention to them because I always compare them to the Ecuador experience. This youth rehabilitation detention center is getting a makeover. Although food isn't going to be part of the makeover the guys said they go to bed hungry and will eat each other's food if a guy doesn't make it to the table in time. And the food isn't even good they said.

Too many behind bars

So apparently our jail is a bit overcrowded.

We've covered this story at least 3 times in the past 2 years I've been working at the Sun, mainly sitting at the archive computer.
The same day I went to photograph the mug shot area I got a mini tour to the holding areas to take these overcrowded photos.

Jail time.

Mug shot dirt

I had to shoot the area where the mug shots are taken once a person enters the county jail. After closer inspection I noticed the eerie greasy dirty outline where everyone stands. Of course this was right after I too stood in that spot for another photo angle.
Showering couldn't happen quick enough that day.
