3 /5 Caino the Concerned Citizen: To visit an inmate, file the appropriate paperwork with the Patton State police (mail it in) for a "background check" and you can go in to see your loved one on Sundays. I know, Ive been there. I recommend minimizing interactions with staff as they are "high-strung," ignorant people. Dont do it. Must be court ordered to be there so District Attorneys office (DA) and public defender/private attorneys are useless. According to my brother the "counselors," doctors and those in training dont genuinely care (less interested then DMV employees) spending a better part of their shifts gossiping about personal nonsense and out of sight in their "offices." Apparently they document progress made for the court going so far as to put their thoughts/expert opinions..
According to the states website, the ratio of employees to patients/inmates is insane. Its like a small base employing the surrounding areas..
At least they dont do lobotomies anymore.
