Does hi bi-monthly inspections not turn up events like these? Oh I forget, his inspections are mostly confined to maintenance issues in a 2 year old building. I notice I never hear about all those maintenance issues at the other jails, but then they weren't built with foundation problems from the moment it was poured. <br /><br />As much as I would hate to pay the taxes on this, I think that Commissioners should seriously consider biting the bullet and kicking CEC out before CEC gets the county caught in a huge lawsuit and walks away leaving the county to pay the bill, pay CEC, and pay the lawsuit. Whoever signed off on this deal should be held criminally responsible for this con on the people of McLennan County. According to Texas Law, the only person who could sign off on this would be the Sheriff, Larry "Shifty" Lynch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037574845472013477.post-52542778055988271832012-09-04T10:41:40.947-05:002012-09-04T10:41:40.947-05:00I thought the new and improved contract that Commi...I thought the new and improved contract that Commissioners Court negoitated in July made the price tag per prisoner $50 a day. Looks like our prisoners are getting a lot of bang for their buck. It's no wonder this place can't pass a state inspection, and why the current Sheriff refuses to go out there to inspect them, he might get raped by wondering trustees.<br /><br />As a taxpayer, I'm appalled, and I have to wonder what possible sane reason outgoing County Judge Jim Lewis could have for recommending to Commissioners Court that we put the county run jail under the supervision of CEC. I wouldn't trust CEC to let my dog out into the yard while under my supervision, much less trust them with actual lives, be the prisoners or not. They are still humans and sound like they are living under the conditions in war torn Africa and the Middle East.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
