Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

I found this interesting little tidbit about the Dallas County jail a couple days ago.

A potentially dangerous situation in the Dallas County jail was averted in February after a young boy wandered away from his mother and wound up in a secure area where prisoners were working.

On Feb. 16 around 9 pm, a group of inmates in the Lew Sterrett Justice Center kitchen told sheriff’s jail staff that a child was standing in a hallway unattended, according to sheriff’s reports I finally got my hands on.

[…]

A malfunctioning elevator appears to be the culprit, although the reports don’t make it very clear. It looks like you need a key to take the elevator from the visitors area down to the kitchen below. But this child somehow managed to do it. A work order was issued for the elevator, according to the reports.

This would be the same Dallas County jail that, the very next month, failed a state inspection.&#160 For the seventh straight time, I might add.

Inspectors with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards briefed county commissioners Friday morning about the results of their four-day evaluation of the four jails now operating.

They detailed broken toilets, dirty and “severely clogged” air vents, remote-controlled doors that wouldn’t open or close properly, broken intercoms, slow response to fire drills, inadequate smoke detection and removal systems, inadequate staffing, improper mixing of high- and low-security inmates and numerous plumbing problems.

The county jail system – the nation’s seventh-largest – hasn’t passed a state inspection since 2003. In addition, the jails remain under a federal court order to improve medical and mental health care, sanitation and fire safety systems.

Curious, no?

Oh.&#160 Did I mention that the jail is run by the county sheriff?&#160 And did I mention that the sheriff is a lezbo Demoscum?&#160 In a county full of abject incompetents just like her?

And did I mention that the lezbo bitch has had four fuckin’ years to fix the problems at the county lockup, and hasn’t???&#160 And that things have deteriorated to the point where a small child can wander into prisoner territory?&#160 And that at least a few of those prisoner have probably been busted on child sex charges (don’t know this for a fact, but it stands to reason)?

Well, now you know.

Your tax dollars at work, Dallas County.

I’m counting the days until I’m no longer a resident of this hellhole.
