Do inmates still get game time and why are inmates not getting their civil rights and sleeping on the floor they are not animals no disrespect but its wrong how they are being treated something should be done I have a friend that shouldn’t be there she needs to be under a real doctors care but she is being strong until she is released but she shouldn’t have to beg for tampons or toilets tissue and she shouldn’t have to sleep on the floor thank you for reading my comments

Now that the jail is independent from the sheriff’s office I hope medical will stop accepting arrestees who have been injured by deputies

The uniforms they have now say escambia county…why need new ones and a new logo. that money should be spent else where. The jail is still an escambia county jail . That hasnt changed. Come on now jail is jail. it is over crowded and in need of a revamp to hold the inmates properly. With the sour grapes the officers are going to bring everyone they can in to add to the over crowding. Now if some one said they were going to make the officers go to advanced training school so they learn the difference in a man getting cig from his own car, a family dog when they raid the wrong house, and how not to kill the suspects. This would be worth the money.

Look I don’t really understand or try to understand politics or office candidates but I know right from wrong and I know when things change before our eyes. I voted for Morgan the first time the second time absolutely not and will never again our crime has increased homicides have nearly tripled since he came in office and now our own police officers that are taught to serve and protect are becoming so trigger happy shoot and ask questions later and our sheriff finds everyone of them justifiable the bank robbery on 9mile back in maybe april when they had the whole area locked down on my way to pick my grandchildren up from daycare police have every area blocked and the day care right in the middle and I get out of my car and walk up so concerned and freaking cause my grandchildren this officer was so rude to me and told me if I didn’t get back in my car I was going to find myself taking a trip downtown I told him sir im only trying to find out what is going and how I can get my grandchildren he was the biggest rudest jerk I have ever seen and from that point on I have been observing everything and I think the best thing would be for David Morgan to get out of office go get him a tv show cuz that is what he likes to be in the media and on tv at our expense…….

RE: Jason

Guidelines not required salaries. We are not required by population to pay a certain salary to our County Administrator. If you a Morgan supporter, great. I am a correctional officer supporter and think they can be better lead.

If all of you keyboard cops think you can do a better job at the jail or any Correctional Facility, do us a big favor, go to George Stone, pass there physical fitness test then go back to school at nite for 5 months. Our jobs are not that great but we do it for the community that we were raised and live in. I don’t work at the jail but i work these guys everyday and it saves taxpayers money.

Wonder when there will be a new Jail Inmate or Booking Log site set up. We were checking daily in hopes of finding a missing family member. That page on the ECSO site is blank today.

@marshell b. It’s their discretion who they haul in.. I see plenty of hookers walking the streets in Brownsville every time I ride through there.. I never did hear about any of the johns names being made public like he said either.. I voted for him the first time and passed on voting for either the second time..

I bet if you had family working for the jail and risking their lives everyday your opinions would be different!!!

Seriously people, you really think working in the jail or an officer on the road is a piece of cake? If you think you can do a better job, then why don’t you run for Sheriff. You can’t stop all crime. We have a lot of low life’s in this world today that have no respect for the law or anyone else. Maybe if they used the electric chair more often instead of these people living off of our tax money for years, then maybe crime would slow down.
