SACRAMENTO — Ruben Switzer wasn't happy with his accommodations at a well-known Los Angeles establishment, so he went online to vent. "Service sucks," he wrote. "Food sucks." Switzer posted his thoughts on Yelp, the popular review website. But unlike many of his fellow armchair critics, he wasn't rating a restaurant or hotel. He was reviewing the Los Angeles County Jail, and he gave it one star. Typically, Yelp users are deciding where to go for dinner or stay on vacation.

The postings are sprinkled with ruminations on life as an inmate, criticism of the state's criminal justice policies and humorous riffs on the lack of high-class furnishings. It's impossible to know the source of many reviews. Some may be posted illegally from behind bars, where smartphones and Internet access are mostly outlawed. Others are put up by inmates after they're freed, or by people who have never done time. Read More. |
