hey doggies, do you even have a job? oh, i forgot you are a greeter at walmart!

So this is the America that is acceptable to you? Beating those who are arrested? Are you kidding me? The guy might be a scumbag and probably is, but if these are the standards that are acceptable to you there is a fundamental problem with the way you and others think. I thought we were better than this. Maybe we should embrace the Gulag & Turkish prisons.

I love the ignorance you convey through the racial undertones of your suggestion. Also, your understanding of the English language greatly undermines your credibility: please substitute "needs" for "need," don't capitalize "Good" and get the dialect right (I assume you are striving for this) w/ "whooping" instead of "whupping." What an ignoramus! They should lock you up and beat you for being stupid.

Congrats to Marty on being the first moron to whip out the race card.. What racial overtones do you speak of? Then you try to downplay your stupidity by using big words and attacking grammar and spelling.. Pathetic! I bet you can turn just about any conversation involving black people into a racist debate...

Rusty: Would you testify to this under oath? You remember the name of the inmate? The date?

Steveisqueer, you shouldnt speak about things which you know nothing about, you come off as a condescending jerk. If it was your son, daughter, family member or even you being assaulted by one of those thugs in uniform u would be singing another tune. Not everyone coming through those walls are violent, menaces to society. Some people make honest mistakes like forgetting court dates or missed child support payments. Those people shouldnt be subject to physical, verbal or mental abuse. They have a job to do, understandable, but many C.O.'s abuse their position and its not reported about because they tend to settle out of court. B4 u comment recklessly, do your research and see how many times the jail settled out of court and fired their own over the last decade due to misconduct. Did u know they had to pay out inmates for violating rights by illegal strip searches and beatings in the past 5 years? Probably not because u speak with blind ignorance and bigotry rather than doing your homework.Theres no excuse for the way they handle inmates down there and unfortunately the public may never know until someone inside blows the whistle. The last deputy who tried to expose corruption within the dept. was fired and harrased and she's never been seen again.Did u know that???? Google it!!!!!

It's jail a common person,citizen has no witnesses in jail...and thoes who witness get beat or taken to the hole...in Will County Jail....the turtles come up and beat people all the time...if you even get seen in your window while the turtles are in the pod your getting beat....not smacked around buddy...beat...by 4 or 5 turtles with sand bag gloves on...for even waking up and taking a piss if they are in the pod..know where your toilet is?...right next to the window...I saw people just wake up and got their asses kicked for using the bathroom and being seen in their windows while the turtles were in the pod...yeah real good police work there buddy...and what happened to them?nothing..no witnesses...what happened to the people who got beat?....charges lessened,charges dropped,lawsuit brought more money that they ever seen...paid for by your local tax payers..

"I am sure beatings have gone rampant(NOT)."

And then you say:

"Bring on the beatings jail guards!!!"

Okay, so you yourself advocate for rampant beatings. Guess what, you don't have to advocate for them, they already happen. And when you beat a criminal in jail, guess what happens? He gets to leave sooner. Is that what you want? Criminals getting out of jail sooner? If so, that's what you've gotten. Good job on supporting the release of dangerous criminals back into society.

@Rusty Shackleford: I'd like to know who was fired too if anhybody knows off hand. They might be willing to snitch since they already lost their jobs.

@ John Roberts: Would the people that you know blow the whistle on the cops that did that to them? Did they already sue? Would they maybe at least tell me privately what happened to them? I'm another victim, but I have more dirt on them than you would ever believe. Trust me.

John Roberts and Rusty Shackleford seem to be about the only people on this thread that don't work for the sheriff's department. Thank you to Joseph Hosey for reporting on this and keep up the great work!

Isn't Jennkins that allegedly got beat the guy that stole a half BILLION dollars worth of heroin from the police and made the sheriff's daughter out to be the idiot that hse is for handing it all over to a complete stranger that called in and asked her to move it? THAT'D BE A MOTIVE! but they do treat random people like this as well.

They may kill him, but it'd be by way of denial of medications that he needs to live like blood pressure, heart, or diabetes medications and then they'd blame the nurses. If he's not on meds, they can sleep deprive him and brainwash him into a suicide and nobody will know what really happened. He's on their bad side and he was in M-Pod (Medical), so expect a possible VERY insane story to come from this guy. Not until his case is over with though, and not until he's released from jail or prison, whatever the case.

Have you been in jail? No? Then your evidence is meaningless. Until you've seen your friends doing their actual job, you only have what they tell you. And they are not going to admit to abusing prisoners.

If Jenkins did somethign wrong, he would have been arrested for a new crime. He wasn't. You don't know your ERT friends as well as you think you do, and they're not allowed to tell you about anything that happens in there anyway.

I'm sure your friends would admit to you that they randomly beat people with sand bag gloves.

Yes, but white inmates too. Trust me. If you know of any personal stories, stories from others, especially if there's proof or people at least willing to talk, please talk to me. If enough people put their heads together and take action, it could result in criminal charges against some of them. Nobody steps up like they should though. When inmates want to step up to get less time by snitching on guards or just want to do the right thing, they are threatened with beatings, death, no medications, no food, no phone calls or showers, and being poisoned. I know, I've been in there more than once or twice.

@Yes, W.B.Tom&Jenn id be willing to testify, i also know names.

@Rusty Shacklford: Please email me anything you'd be willing to share at smithjennifer594@ymail.com Your orivacy will be protected. I'll give you a phone number of my partner so you can call him if you want. He has stories that make this one look like Kindercare, and you just happened to be in the jail when the worst of it took place. You may have not witnessed it, but you may have heard about it while in the jail. Inmates talk, and in case you didn't notice, sound carries so much in there that you can hear guards at their desk even if they're being really quiet. They are very bold and leave many footprints.

Did Marlis O'Leary that got fired for blowing the whistle and then got stalked by them literally vanish or did she just decide to move or something? Is there any documentation of her being a no show for court or anything that suggests that she vanished?

oleary v kaupas Feb 19 2013

Yes, I know about the lawsuit and I know the Will County Sheriff's Department does the things that she alleged and much worse. I just didn't know if she "disappeared" and hid from the stalking, or if I maybe misunderstood the post.

There will be much more coming out in time. Trust me. I won't it is when I get all the proof because it would be beyond rude to bring new news to a reporter's website. I guarantee that the stories will blow your mind though.

@Rusty, please post details! Maybe leave out the names of the inmates to protect their privacy, but mention the other details when you have a moment. Please.

Trial for Marlis O'Leary v. Paul Kaupas starts February 19 Federal Court Chicago. Public Court for anyone who wants to listen!!!
