Sho nuff What are you thinking?” Best way to avoid this is stay out of jail.” What about the people that worked there? Just goes to show how ignorant people really are.

I hate it for the victims and families this affected. Someone is a fault and it will come out during the investigation.
Best way to avoid this problem is to stay out of trouble and stay out of jail!

Robert, one additional item:
If or when an inmate reports a gas leak, PAY ATTENTION and call for an immediate investigation into it. The smell is added to natural gas for a reason. It is DANGEROUS when loose in confined spaces.

Robert, everything you say makes common sense. Too bad government and common sense normally don’t belong in the same sentence.

Plenty of space available at the Camp5 site, communications, utilities etc. already in place.

Hopefully, some common sense will prevail in the decision of where to place a new Central Booking and Detention Center.
Just some suggestions:
Build on High ground that is NOT in a flood plain.
Have No Basement.
Put generators, communications and other sensitive areas ABOVE the first or second floors.
Learn from the past, do not repeat the same failures and hope for a different outcome.
With video court appearances and other off-site operations perhaps the facility does not have to be so near the courthouse.
Just sayin’..
