Breaking News Update: Inmate Complaints Sparked Fight at Grand Forks Jail
It’s not daycare,they should put that much effort into being a productive member of society
It's hard to take pity on a pile of thieves and drug dealers.
But they deserve humane treatment.
It's not a resort. They do need to be fed.
When we were kids everyone complained about school food and I thought we were fed like kings.
But that was a long time ago.
Yeah their ratio's are better than nurses
They must have jail and burger King mixed up.
Give them guards some credit not all must most.
Do better when you're not there, criminals are not going to get 5star treatment from the taxpayers who care for your bad ass.😊
I understand that people make mistakes but dang that's ridiculous and sad.
Don't get what you want, throw a tantrum, hit and fight like a child (or BLM ). A lot of comments ( mostly replies ) here are purely idiotic, it's jail! If you feel bad for these criminals, I'm sure you could take their place.
They should punish all who took part in the bad behavior by suspending their access to commissary for one month.
Uh….uh….uh….go back to school. Reporters (professional) dont say uh…uh…amatuer
🤔
Maybe not going to jail might help these issues?
I mean, if you're not in jail, would these issues exist? 🤔
You do crime, go to jail, can't get your commissary, the food sucks… WTF DO CRIMINALS EXPECT?! A STAY AT A 5-STAR RESORT!!
Behave yourselves out in society, ffs! Stop acting in ways that land yo' a55 in jail! IT'S NOT BLOODY ROCKET SCIENCE!! 😠
Neil what cause there in jail there complaints aren't legit. You should keep your personal feelings out of your reports. Or just quit reporting
Jail is the biggest corrupt business going, next to the government..
I have a complaint…….. we have too many people committing crimes, hurting people, and then the taxpayer has to pay to house them and feed them.
I don't care about their complaints. Shut-up. Do your time. Try to be a better person if you ever get out.
Too much dude step it down a notch
But that is right the food is bad its all cornbread or cakes hardly regular food and twice a week canteen cause they say they have no cards for the vending machine for months now and medical is non existant
There is a vending machine u can look at the ramen noodles u want but cant get it cause they say they have no cards for months there is no reason for that and i had my blood preasure thru the roof and asked for medical help and they did nothing. The bp thing was over a year ago but the commisary was recent. How hard is it to get vending cards
Pay attention Biden, you can't handle us even disarmed.
Can't wait to see your karma Uncle Sam.
I suffered a mental health crisis in Grand Forks and ended up kidnapped by the grand forks pd charging me with 3 felonies I did not commit. They made up the charges and I was convicted of a felony. They took me off the street and I wasnt feeding myself. Then I suffered malnutrition because 2000 calories wasnt enough to go by. A 15 year leutenant remarked he had never seen a case handled like mine, evar! Grand Forks is a crap town sad to see it go.
"Prisoner complaints' ROFLMFAO, why are they fed at all? they're locked up away from society because they proved they can't be amongst civil folk, they should be happey they're not chained at the ankle to a tree in the mmiddle of a filed, left to chance to the elements and what ever food they can eat that comes by, mice, insects etc.
My way self corrects on so many levels.
