A Surprising Issue with Prisons

quote [ "Rikers Island corrections officer Carol Lackner was indicted on Monday in the case of Jerome Murdough, a mentally ill inmate[...]. Lackner was charged with falsifying prison records to indicate that she had checked on Murdough repeatedly throughout the night. Murdough’s death is not an isolated incident." ]

Louisville judge furious at Metro Corrections over inappropriately dressed inmate


Louisville judge furious at Metro Corrections over inappropriately dressed inmate

A female Metro Corrections inmate was brought to Jefferson District Court on Friday morning without a jumpsuit - and appearing to not be wearing pants - prompting a judge to call the jail and ask “what the hell is going on?”

An attorney for the woman told Judge Amber Wolf that the jail “refused to give her pants and any kind of hygiene products that she needed,” according to a video of the hearing from Friday morning.

That was going to be my next post. Good thing I have a folder of them.

The one upside in this story is that the judge got pissed. If more judges would get pissed about the perversion of our justice system, it wouldn't hurt things.

I am frankly speechless about it. I hope that judge gets a fucking medal.

It's my understanding that judges in misdemeanor courts tend to be pretty compassionate, but she totally gets points from me. The defender though. 75 days!

Uhhh I want to down vote this post simply because you can't use a thumb like that and not explain it's origin. Asshole.

It's coming in a follow-up post. Unless evil_eleet beats me to it.
