Humboldt County Jail 101

An excellent report and interview by the Lost Coast Outpost's Ryan Burns. He tells a bit about the jail and has an informative interview with a female inmate. I couldn't stop reading. Nicely done.

Interesting statistic he brings out: " Even with some inmates serving sentences of a year or more, the average stay at the Humboldt County jail is only 14 days.". Who'da thunk? Not sure what to make of that.

I knew the late Kris Reynolds who worked in the jail for decades, until her retirement. I remember her saying one of the things that made life in the jail more unpleasant was when there was a large female population. Maybe it's changed, as the lady who was interviewed doesn't allude to that, or maybe it's just bad on the correctional officer's end?
