Jail Report
by TChris
Inmates serving time or awaiting trial or sentencing have enough problems without these:
- A Union County, New Jersey jail guard has been charged with (among other crimes) sexually assaulting five female inmates while on duty.
- The Perry County Detention Center in Hazard, Kentucky is in such a state of "total chaos" -- dirty, overcrowded, insufficient beds, nonfunctioning fire alarms, and inmates wandering about unsupervised -- that the state pulled 50 inmates out of the institution.
- Part of the Allegheny County Jail had to be quarantined after an outbreak of chickenpox.
Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture may use its rural development fund, flush with an infusion of cash intended for disaster relief, to loan money to three Virginia counties to pay for a regional jail.
