REGARDING:
“It was provided by the 1 cent sales tax. ”

It was?

That’s good. It must mean all the dirt roads in the county have been paved.

Hooray!

David for promises kept?

No attorney/inmate conversations will be recorded. It was provided by the 1 cent sales tax. Not one county commissioner showed up, no city council person showed up.. Channel 3 did not come, only Channel 5 & 10, the mayor did not show. The next project to be done is the kitchen, and if I am not mistaken the inmates at CBD get a hot meal each evening (it is transported from the main jail). The people of Escambia County should be pround of this. We should all be disappointed that none of our elected officials thought it important enough to come. Speaks volumes!

just wondering why they could not have taken money to rebuild the kitchen so the inmates could have decent food cooked there instead of having sanwiched brought over from the other jail? i know they are not at the hilton and are in jail for something they have done wrong, but a warm meal could make a world of difference when you are in there over the holidays. or the laundry room could have maybe be been fixed so they would not have to leave and do laundry at the other jail. seems like nothing has or will be fixed since it flooded and no one seems to care,afterall they are still human. just my opinion but this seems like a waste of money.

Great still nothing for the youth today to be involved with this town is just nothing really sit back and look at it what is there….I sometimes wish I could sell and move but thanks for the lack of code enforcment where I live I could never get a good amount for my home and land…I think I see why people are killing people around here they are bored and been just playing video games so much that it seems like real life skills. All the money spent on this what a waste. As far as Morgan I could really care less who is running this thing they are all the same.

It’s a great idea. At least you will be to hear more clearly. However I agree with an earlier comment, why couldn’t it have been done via the internet. by using SKYPE or something similar? Is it because of the inability to monitor the conversations? You should be able to do that either way. But I appreciate the improvement. I just pray that I won’t have to use it. Hats off to you and your department Sheriff Morgan.

“What is wrong here is that some people would criticize what any elected official did, no matter what they did.”

True.

And your point???

Video Visitation, sounds to me like they could have done that from people’s living room, over the internet.

Good progress. That should help with security and lower payroll cost in the jail.

I wonder though, when it comes to inmates discussing a case, if this set up creates some right to privacy issues?
