  1. Wait, this happened in jail?

    The place where they detain people before trial?! This is concerning. Hopefully it wasn't someone being held on small charges or someone who was innocent of their charged crime. I know we're understaffed on corrections officers but this still shouldn't happen

  2. A while back when I drank heavily, I got booked in on a probation violation. A cpl days later I suffered a seizure while sitting at a table due to alcohol withdrawal. Knocked a majority of my front upper teeth out. I told the CO Nicole that something was wrong right before it happened. They didn't care. And Larson was rude when I asked for the incident report. Couldn't find a lawyer to go after them.

  3. The Crookston jail is a complete joke! When I was in there a couple years ago (I got way too drunk), I told them that I was a type 1 diabetic and needed something since my sugar was less than 40 and I was better off if I didn’t say anything! It took them hours to respond and actually give me something! I get that people will lie and say they have an issue to get out of jail but this is clearly hurting those who actually need medical attention versus the fakers! A lot of people in jail are actually innocent and you’re only innocent until proven guilty not guilty until proven innocent! Inmates are people too!
