Want to Put Your Kids Behind Bars? (Temporarily)

The Sacramento County Probation Department is holding the 4th annual open house for the Juvenile Hall located at 9601 Kiefer Blvd.

For any parent who's ever wanted to show their kid what being behind bars is really like, they'll get their chance April 6.

That's because the Sacramento County Juvenile Hall is opening its doors for its 4th annual open house and all ages are welcome.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for parents, children and stakeholders to view the facility and get first-hand understanding of what goes on in the lives of juvenile detainees,” said Suzanne Collins, Interim Chief Probation Officer in a press release. “Many people know of someone who has been in Juvenile Hall and everyone has heard stories; now is the time to learn for yourself about our facility, amazing staff, successful programs and our challenges.”

Special tours will be held for Media and VIPs at noon and the public is invited from noon to 2 p.m. Easy parking is available at the Juvenile Hall Visitor Center Entrance.

No detained youth will be present during the open house.

The three people - look like they are under 20 years old and are either light skinned black - orRead More Hispanic - travel together often around Percival, Firelight and Caldera. They have also stolen a flip-phone - then asked for $20.00 when they returned it.

The Marks of this world are too blind to facts to bother arguing with. He thinks 4 generation ofRead More welfare and more people on food stamps then ever before in history is progress! What's the point acknowledging such absurd nonsense? Don't bother Roberto, complete waste of effort.

Nobody likes debt or an economy that is limping along. Obama has done an admirable job consideringRead More what he's had to put up with. The deficit has been reduced considerably. Stock market is as high as ever. Unemployment is still a big problem. Thank God we still have food stamps to help those people who have lost their jobs. Our bridges are falling apart. How about we invest in fixing our crumbling infrastructure, get those people back to work, get them spending, stimulate this economy. Oh, that's right, if Obama is for it, the opposition will automatically be against it (even if it's their idea!) .

Here we go - perfect example of a blind koolaid drinker. Listen to this: "The deficit has beenRead More reduced considerably" REALLY, then why has it doubled in the last few years? What planet are you from? "Thank God we still have food stamps to help those people who have lost their jobs." then "Obama has done an admirable job"....HELLOOOOOO! You can't have it both ways. My god we are lost if this is the mentality that is voting now - totally lost. I wish these types were routed out of the gene pool when things were tough and they would simply perish from stupidity. Now days thing are so easy they thrive and reproduce. Watch in 10 years how GREAT things are, just watch.
