While on a recent trip to Boise, Rich and I both spent some time in the Ada County Jail.
Thanks Anna.
Now, to clarify a little. My sister-in-law, Anna, works at the Jail. She is an RN and wanted to share with us where she works. So we left the kids with Rich's brother and headed out for a little field trip and tour. We saw "Booking" and "the Tank" and one of the dorms and the medical part. It was ...hmmm....what word to describe?...intriguing? interesting? unnerving? Yes, unnerving. I am SO glad I've never been to jail before this...YIKES!! The deputies and employees are awesome, but the inmates would just stare - almost like they were trying to see if they could break you down with just a look...ugh.
I was a little overwhelmed, but by the time I was back in the car to go home, I was relaxed again. (duh) Anyway, we forgot to take the camera, so there's no proof that we were really there...you'll just have to take our word for it. It definitely takes a certain personality to work somewhere so ... concrete. I'm glad I don't have to, but I'm grateful to those who do and find a way to smile each day they're there doing a great job!
Thanks Anna!! It was great!

We should have taken a picture!! The Sargeant thanked me for bringing you guys in. :) Glad you got to see where I work...from the right side :)
happy you're home safe and FREE.
Wow! They're lucky to have Anna! Glad the flight went well!
I went and taught sunday school at the jail in summit county once. So aweful. I hated that every door you went through was locked behind you. I hated the cameras that folled my every move. I hated the fact that I was locked in a room with 20 inmates and no jailers. What a relief to leave. What an amazing feeling of freedom to just walk out those doors
