THE JAIL, WHOSE FAULT IS IT, ANYWAY?

You, my brothers, my sisters, and I are and have been the one’s that were responsible for the conditions of Hardin County.

The family had to protect them, that’s all there is too it. (NOTE - My ‘brothers, et.al.’ in this case include members of the Judicial Branch, Legislative Branch and Executive Branch of our local county government, several enforcement arms of our State government and the citizens of Hardin County, for tolerating it.)

The Sheriff - T.C.A. §§41-4-121(a) "The sheriff has authority, when the jail of the county is insufficient for the safekeeping of a prisoner, to convey the prisoner to the nearest sufficient jail in the state."

The Judges - T.C.A. §§41-4-121(b) "In all cases, also, where it is shown to the committing magistrate, judge or court, that the jail of the county in which the commitment should be made is insufficient for the safekeeping of the prisoner, the commitment shall be by mittimus or warrant stating the fact, to the nearest sufficient county jail."

The Lawyers - Why did it take an ‘out of town’ Lawyer to file a ‘class action’ lawsuit for deliberate indifference? Didn’t some of our local Lawyers collect money to represent the best interest of some of these prisoner? Where the hell has the Public Defender’s Office been?

The Mayor - T.C.A. §§ 41-4-116(b) "The county executive shall be an ex officio inspector of the jail in each county."

The County Commissioners and The Citizens - "As long as we make it look like we are doing something, they, (The Feds or State), won’t bother us." And my personal favorite - "Ain’t gonna do nothing about it until somebody makes us and there ain’t nobody making us, yet," or, "Don’t care, we ain’t gonna pay for it with increased property taxes!!"
