Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center

This place has top of the line cuisine you may order charged to your tab delivered to you if you are in the exclusive SHU wing. Lots of sunshine peered through my window as I thought about life on my extended retreat for 12 months in there. The staff and my fellow neighbors were cool, and quite a friendly bunch, there were some that were miserable, but the minor few I won’t focus on. I received excellent room service 3 times a day for my meals right to my door. It was an exciting time for all of us collectively to receive that special one piece of succulent baked chicken once a month, otherwise they kept us primarily Vegetarian along with some mystery faux beef every once and a while. I was relocated to another wing over in General Population and I thought I stepped into a Zoo. I saw Bears, Gorillas, Zebras, Orangutans, Rhinos, etc. I asked if they fed the animals 3 times a day, and they replied yes, but I was warned to be careful or they will run me down to get to the food.
Las Vegas it was real, and I now know not to do anything remotely illegal in your town again.

Went on a tour for class, what an amazing experience. Associate Warden Hill was very informative and helpful with our questions and concerns. This place is ran how a prison should be, with controlled movement and zero tolerance for any sexual misconduct following the new PREA (prison rape elimination act) They have many prison industries and educational programs so inmates can not just waste away doing nothing. One program that caught my eye was the ‘Pups on parole program’ where they take dogs from the shelter or that have been rescued from harsh environments, they train these dogs and help them find a new permanent home. This program is important for the animals but also crucial to the inmates rehabilitation, teaching them patience and giving them some rewarding feedback. The facilities are surprisingly very clean and well maintained for what it is, you have to remember this is a prison not a 5 star hotel.
Thanks to all the staff and Associate Warden Tanya Hill for the great experience!
