Mono County Jail

I’m reviewing the historic Mono County Jail, not the newer facility.
It’s a fun place for a quick stop to take the kids and let them experience «jail» while passing through town.
Granted, the old jail is probably scarier than the new, but still a good place to get the kids «scared straight.»
The old jail is a small building which houses a few dank cells and one small wide open shower. The kids thought it was fun, adults found it mildly interesting from a historic perspective.
Worth a look if you are nearby, but don’t make a special trip to see it.
3 stars.

This review is for the speed traps located in every little two street town on the way to Mammoth Mountain. If your officers can not find valuable work to accomplish (i.e., investigaing crimes and arresting criminals) then they should be laid off. In addition, badge no. 19 627 should not be concerned with flirting with the indivuals that he pulls over from his speed traps. BADGE NO. 19 627: STOP THE FLIRTING AND MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL!

Mono County Jail of Bridgeport, CA 93 517 is a great place to go for a tasty meal and or a relatively safe prison experience.
I hear that the wonderful officers of the Mono County Sheriff’s Department treat the inmates wonderfully, and the food is apparently quite tasty! Plenty of parking on the street if you need to bail anyone out.

When you spend enough time in Mammoth, a ski town, you or someone you know is bound to end up in at the good olé Mono County Jail aka Bridgeport B & B.
In the words of the great Mike Ness:
«It’s on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks
Where the country moon shines.»
Yeah, it’s in BFE so when you get the call to pick someone up after an especially egregious skiing out of bounds issue, a DIP or a DUI, it’s close to an hour long haul up to the county seat to drag their sorry asses back home.
On the bright side, the deputies have so little to do they will shoot the shit with you and even tell tales of what your friend did during the arrest/​while in the tank.
I’ve heard that they let the women stay up late to watch SNL. But the food, well… meh. But there is a special dietetic menu for those inmates who are watching their carbs.
More from Mr. Ness:
«Well it’s cold and it’s clammy
Man, it’s colder than a pimp’s heart
But I’ve gotta do my time
There’s a lesson to be learned here
but what a price to pay.
You know, I may never learn»
Also — this is where Sean Penn stayed when he went to jail for punching a paparazzi when married to Madonna. He paid extra to have the privilege to do time here rather than in LA County. If only Paris Hilton did the same thing — she could have talked to the lady who got busted for trying to smoke a tea bag by sticking it into a light socket.
