What to do about mistreatment in the county jail?
I was in the county jail for the last 4 days. It took around 60 hours to go through processing until I got to an actual bunk. I was told that as an inmate I have the right to get to a bunk with in 24 hours. I also believe that I may have obtained a staff infection while in jail. I was wondering if I am entitled to any compensation for any of these issues. Any insight would be much appreciated.

If you believe that you were mistreated in the county jail of the township where you reside, you should consult with an attorney that practices personal injury law specifically in the area of suing municipalities. Be prepared to provide this attorney with all documentation supporting your claims with the names of all possible witnesses.
