After many construction delays, the Wayne County Criminal Justice Center finally opened.
It was promised to be a state of the art criminal courthouse and detention facility.
Not even close.
The building is already falling apart.
There aren’t enough deputies.
And the inmates are revolting.
It’s a debacle.
And we’re stuck with the bill.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey everybody. I’m going to be on assignment this week with Cuomo, so no podcast, but I couldn’t let it go by without pointing out this fucking fiasco. We’re at Dwayne County Criminal Justice Center. You might be able to see it over my shoulder. It’s glued there to the building. It’s a freaking debacle. As I told you, it was supposed to be 500 million. It cost 700 million. We’re going to get stuck with the bill in the jail. I don’t know how it’s possible to design a jail like that, that had drywall in it. Okay? A lot of drywall in a jail.
(00:40):
The inmates are revolting. They’re angry because they’re not allowed to see their loved ones that’s been canceled. There are only five rooms in there where either your lawyer, your wife, your kids, the parole officer, the psychiatric can even meet. That means there’s a backlog of three hours for lawyers. So now they want to do it via zoom by these kiosk. Those don’t work. So these guys are so pissed that they’re ripping the sprinkler heads out of the ceiling. I don’t know how an inmate can get a hold of a sprinkler head in a brand new jail, but they already flooded it out. The sewage is overflowing, so they’re giving plastic bags for the inmates. The shit in what they were throwing at the deputies, there’s not enough deputies to even man it. They haven’t been trained to go over there. The facades cracked already.
(01:37):
It’s cracked. It’s cracked. It’s cracked in the courtroom. There’s not room for two juries. Normally in Wayne County, two guys commit a crime. They go on trial together, two separate juries as they’re entitled to. They don’t have it in these rooms where you’re talking to your lawyer. They’re not soundproof. You can hear the psychiatrist, you can hear the lawyer. It’s just ridiculous. The holding cells over there in the Wayne County Criminal Justice assisted Wayne County Jail, the super jail, the biggest public project in years is a jail. There’s supposed to be suicide proof. Well, we got a guy in critical condition in the hospital right now after hanging himself. Come on, this thing’s already falling apart. It’s got electric problems. It’s got plumbing problems, it’s got space problems, it’s got staffing problems, and you are the loser because this is the public square. This is circuit court for Wayne County.
(02:40):
It’s not just Detroit. It’s Livonia. It’s the gross points. It’s Northville. It’s Inkster. This is what you get. This is what they do. How did we get this pile of shit? I told you way back when I stopped the last jail when we pulled those $400 million because of, and then we started over on this one. Here’s how this deal got set up. Knucklehead. Warren Evans, the Wayne County executive, decides he’s doing a private deal with Dan Gilbert. So Warren Evans, he’s got a guy negotiating for us, the people from the county. That guy is negotiating with Bedrock, Dan Gilbert’s real estate firm. But it turns out the guy working for the county was also working for Bedrock on other projects. So now we get this dump over the years, I warned you, I tried to, let me see the plans, the blueprints. What materials are you using?
(03:42):
This thing was delayed because they were putting ceramic toilets into jail. They were putting drywall into a jail, and now the plumbing’s exploding. Inmates are able to rip out the sprinkler system. It’s flooding, they’re shitting in bags. It doesn’t even look that good, and it just open a couple of weeks. Imagine what it’s going to be in a couple of months. This is what you get when you live in Michigan. There no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. The Republicans are rich. They get the big contracts and it all rolls downhill and everybody shares in, except me and you and these guys in here who are presumed to be innocent. You can’t talk to your family. You can’t talk to your lawyer, and they want to put you on a kiosk where you do it out loud. This isn’t justice. And when I come back next week, I’ll just tell you how they’re hiding all the crime. This is the problem in America right here. Have a nice week. Oh yeah. One more thing. Somebody got their ass beat and was robbed out here. You can tell it’s not very secure parking. They’re not telling us about it, but it’s under investigation, so it’s kind of destitute out here. So if you got to come down, be careful. Don’t park on the street, dude, with
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Everything aside, cheese fries to go, ready, set, go, let go. Drake might not make it to the championships, but you can have a little bit of Detroit at your next championship party. American Coney Island, 12 dogs with all the fixing air mail special right to your door. That includes Alaska and Hawaii, American coney island.com. The first, the best and better than all the rest. And they can’t fly either. Yeah, baby, I’m going to Vegas. They got a county store there too.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And remember that the politicians lie to you. The media lies to you. And how do you know if your investment statements aren’t lying to you? Karen,
Speaker 3 (06:16):
You don’t
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Remember. You don’t. You’re not managing your wealth. Who’s doing that?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Who?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Some guy for the big bank. He doesn’t care about you. He cares about volatility, movement, selling, buying, selling. Every time he makes a move, he makes money while you lose money. Right? You should know your money, man. That’s why I work with financial specialists. Luke Acki at Pinnacle Wealth Strategies. There’s a reason they call it Pinnacle Wealth.
Speaker 3 (06:42):

He came in from Philly’s busting the balls on my 65 Mustang, and I’m like, I could put 10 grand into the body, but it felt nice to be able to write a check for my daughter’s first semester in college, right? So you get advice from Luke, he’ll keep you up to date and always a phone call away. Let Luke, no wacky worry so you don’t have to. Luke Acki at 2 4 8 6 6 3 4 7 4 8.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I was trying to figure out how to write that down, but I’ll just go back and pull it up. I do want to, here, lemme just take a picture.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Why don’t we call and meet with ’em? We could be
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Partners. Yeah, I would like that. I mean, because you have to think we’re aging. I mean, we have an aging population. Oh, wait a minute. And we talk about what?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, no. I mean, we’re aging and I don’t want to go on one of these.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And if we were investors in such a place and Archangel is supplying all the care, transportation of pharmacy, maybe that’s where we go when we’re old into our own
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Invest. I go into Montego Bay, but this is the thing. Indiana, no, Jamaica, but my thing is the quality. Because we’ve talked a lot on this show about the quality or the lack of quality in a lot of the senior residences, and I think that when people have worked all their lives, they’ve taken care of their families, they’ve taken care of their communities, they deserve respectable, comfortable,
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Safe, friendly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, I do. That’s something that resonates
Speaker 1 (10:03):
With me. Not on a major street with a huge parking lot, but a home.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah,
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I mean, that’s a big difference. It is warning, graphic scenes and political satire. Sense of humor required. There he goes. A man’s best friend, a boy’s best boy. Times are tough, but why skimp on bump his dog food? Now I feed mine doggy D din real whole grains, real beef stock. It might cost a little more, but consider the times we’re living in war inflation disease. So why skimp now? You might have to eat the old feller later. Doggy din a meal within a meal. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, so make sure your meat is marbled and raised with love. I love you so much, boy. I could just eat you up. No animals. Were armed in the making of this film.
