John E Polk Correctional Facility

Dilemma: what ‘star’ rating do you give a correctional facility? ‘5’ is out of the question, as is ‘4’ («Yay! I’m a fan!). But equally weird is ‘2’ («Meh — I’ve experienced better» — we’re talking about lots of experience in these places, are we?), while «Eek — methinks not» could very well upset the hard-​working men and women so much that I could end up over-​staying my welcome.
So I settled on ‘A-​OK’. I come here as part of Northland’s jail ministry 1 – 2 times a month. Sure it’s an old somewhat dilapidated building, but the paint is arguably ‘fresh’, and the repelling institutional smell very much under control. I come for the prisoners, who worship God with such fervent ardor that it puts some of us free men to shame. I love serving in jail, and yes, I think I’ll be Duke soon now that I know you can check in here!
p. s. Just for kicks, I think I’ll have a bit of fun with the Unilocal question here on whether they accept credit cards.
