  5. Yes I have and that Pastor that runs the Lompoc one just have to say never in my life have I met another pastor like him, he curses so much he has no sympathy and he looks at all that come there as drug users. That should answer how my stay was.

  6. They have cameras but people have stuff come up missing all the time. They don't play the camera over to find the thief so either the cameras don't work OR they don't care.

My friend came to let me known that my dog was missing and shelter staff turned him away. I didn

    Staff working in SM also help in lompoc. They were condescending. All the "programs" available are rarely accessible. They help 1 out of 25 people.
