The Worst County Jails to Do Time In

Doing time is never fun, but this is the list of county jails that you don't want to find yourself in. 45 slots left
Sacramento County Jail
exinmate submitted 2 years ago | tags: sacramento-county-jail + california
Is it really a surprise that Sacramento would have a bad jail to spend time in? The best way to get along with other inmates, reportedly, is to learn enough about the law to be able to give other inmates legal advice - not an option for everybody :)

Jackson County Jail

Jackson County Jail is supposed to be pretty rough with a lot of reported gang activity. On the plus side, though, they offer time off for good behavior - apparently being a trustee helps - and you can get work release.

DeKalb County Jail
Deep in the south inmates report that DeKalb (like most jails) is pretty unpleasant. The worst part? Former inmates report that it just gets too hot.

Leon County Jail
exinmate submitted 2 years ago | tags: leon-county-jail + florida
Leon County Jail is actually supposed to be pretty good in terms of the inmate population (as long as you don't do anything stupid), but the jail gets locked down a lot. When there is a lock down you can't call your family or go out to the yard - for this reason we consider it one of the worst jails in the US since being locked up is bad enough without being restricted to just a cell.

Cook County Jail
The Cook County Jail has the highest inmate population of any county jail in the US - in fact, at one time it was the only county jail which performed lethal injections. It is a rough jail.
