Writing up the incompetence is transparency. Here's how a real professional does it --
I applied for a water job three months ago, and as I was leaving the building, some lady walking next to me said: "You'll never get in because you're not one of them Alamo-Gorditas." I thought everyone in City Hall is 50 pounds overweight, has a terrible haircut, and wears awfully dirty old clothes.
thank you once again, for fighting for access to public records in this and many other situations - democracy truly dies in darkness.
i would not be surprised to learn the capture was not coordinated with any local LEO - that would be consistent with recent history of ICE. it will be instructive to see if the sheriff's department/county administration choses to respond to a request for a clarifying statement.
just like health care - contracting to operate jails and prisons by entities whose primary purpose is making a profit will inevitably result in ethical problems. and all these jails and prisons that are short-staffed have a simple problem - when any business can't keep employees -
This a perfect example of why we should never have jails and prisons be managed by for-profit entities.
Inmates are sons or daughters, mothers, fathers, family and friends of our community. They and we deserve answers and deserve justice
Private prisons are simply legal slavery. You are literally selling a persons freedom.
