CONSIDERING:
“maybe if the sheriff had been able to make repairs to the old jail when he wanted to, this cash cow we are paying for might have been avoided. Just a thought.”

A valid question if the money requested had included making related charges.
I don’t think that it did.

David for better planning, proper priorities

Does anyone remember how this ‘Jail Mess’ started? Sheriff Morgan asked the County Commissioners for $7 (or was it $9 million?) to make upgrades to the old jail. He was told NO. They then took the jail cause they could do a better job than the sheriff. Then KA-BOOM! Who knows, maybe if the sheriff had been able to make repairs to the old jail when he wanted to, this cash cow we are paying for might have been avoided. Just a thought.

There must be a reason why business’ complain about Escambia County when they are looking to start a business. I hear the red tape is mind numbing.

I agree with Chris. It seems to be working out in Arizona. The male inmates hate wearing the pink clothing and living in tents. We should make it a place where they really might think twice about going back to. If tents are OK for our military then why not for prisoners. Just my 2cents worth.

Seems like some closed schools might be candidates for a “temporary jail”.
We do not need more unused county and school buildings.
We have enough already.

Awe Chris, we could not dress them in pink or put flip flops on them. That would be a violation of their civil rights don”t cha know??? The criminals have way more rights than the victims or the rest of us. Oh wait..we are all victims to the craziness of this government…

Having inmates work is great and everything, but that’s 400 jobs that non-criminals could be drawing a paycheck for doing.
