Male, 60
I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
Never worked in a county jail in my life. Normally it would say RETURN TO SENDER but other than that it would depend. Post Office is unlikely to know if a particular person is a prisoner at as particular time so they would normally send it on to the jail. It would be up to the jail to forward or return it.

All kinds. Most of the on-going drama was person as opposed to job related. Sick family, dying family, dead family, personal relationships turning to crap, that sort of thing. Work getting in the way of family. Family getting in the way of work. Usual stuff.

Same one. It was a different time. I might not do it today.

I am not worried about an escape. I doubt she has the skill set or connections to pull that off. Suicide prevention is fairly easy, it's called suicide watch. It is expensive but very effective if employed correctly. (It WASN'T employed correctly in Epstein's case.) I strongly suspect that, after Epstein's death, there is little danger of anything untoward happening to her at least in the short term.
As far as what I think of her, I think she is a disgusting turd.

TV Meteorologist
Is having a weatherman really better than just throwing to a 5-day forecast screen?
Not that I specifically recall, no. I am sure it happened, but just wasn't very noteworthy.

Good question. I don't know. I have been retired for over 15 years and the issue did not come up at that time. State law specifically prohibits sexual relations between prisoners but of course that was written when homosexual conduct was illegal in general. I have no information one way or the other just now. Sorry.

Used to be VERY common in "the old days." Now there are so many child molesters and general purpose sex offenders locked up in relation to the general population the other convicts would spend all day thumping on them and never get anything else done.
