Where did I say I didn’t care about the inmates, having spent enough time dealing with the public and the state it is clear that corrections is below just about everything else, it not me my statement was and is clear that we have to protect our inmates and our staff against these kinds of problems, and in the new Jail we will have the room and right tools to do so. Beowulf do not know where your getting your info that I am stumping the new jail and inmates are secondary your way off base, I didn’t want this new jail so large its to expensive. Reader the situation is very very dangerous and it’s the job of he County to protect the public, staff and inmates that is clear. At no time did I ever say inmates were secondary that was all of you saying these things.report abuse
