Geiger Correctional Center

Where do I start? Ok the first time I called… November 18, 2015. My boyfriend went to jail the day before windstorm on a DUI charge. When he was moved to Geiger I called to see what building he was in so I could schedule a visit. I had to pick the option to speak with someone in Admin so I could actually talk with someone. The man who answered the phone didn’t speak clearly enough for me to get his name, and he cut me off before I could get my entire question out telling me that he couldn’t tell me anything. I said you can’t tell me what building he is in? Nope I don’t know that information. I responded by saying he is at your facility and you don’t know what building he is in? He said nope, you can look on the website. I said, I did go to your website. It tells me that he is at Geiger and it tells me what time visiting is, but it doesn’t tell me what building and floor he is on. It does however tell me I need to know that information to schedule a visit. He responded with «well then write him a nice letter that he will eventually get telling him how much you love him, I’m sure that will make him write you back and then you’ll have the information you want!» His tone was very rude and condescending. Before I could say anything he hung up. I realize this is a correctional facility, however I am not a criminal and my boyfriend was there on a DUI, not a horrific crime. I am a professional and I will not be treated as if I am garbage by someone that is a little high on their horse because they are a guard at a jail. The first time I went to visit there were three guards in the room chatting. I was ignored for five minutes before one of them came over took my ID asked who I was visiting, gave me my ID back and then turned to talk to one of the other guards leaving me standing there. Not knowing what to do since I am not accustomed to visiting the jail, I just stood there waiting. The third guard came rushing up to the window when he saw me standing there and I told him the other guy already took my info. He looked shocked and he buzzed me in. Nguyen was this guards name and he was quite nice. However the other two guards and the one on the phone left a lasting impression on how awful the employees at this facility are. If they treat me poorly and show me no respect, I can only imagine how they treat the inmates. The way that the employees behave is not acceptable and I believe that there should be higher standards set into place upon hiring for a position. I guess this is what you get from union employees. Hate this place and the way it operates. I will make it a goal of mine to make sure that any inappropriate treatment I receive or hear about happening inside will not be hidden from the public. It will not let me post with out giving at least on star. My true rating would be a negative hundred stars. 100

Is this guy for real? You know Geiger always leave the light on for you just like Super 8. I’m sure Geiger’s continental breakfast is just as good your welcome back anytime these Corrupt Judges Lawyers and Cops love your business!

Geiger is the nicest correctional facility in which I have had the pleasure to be incarcerated. Geiger reminds me a lot of the dorms in college minus the alcohol. In a small campus setting near Spokane International Airport, it is a work release facility with four bunks to each room. Inmates are allowed to bring in personal items including TVs.
Some of my favorite things at Geiger were–
* Mondays– Tacos in the cafeteria and Monday Night Football in the TV room.
* Guards that were for the most part pleasant.
* Talking to the federal female prisoners in the yard (just remember to stay on your side of the sidewalk)
–1 star for loss of personal freedom.
