For profit prisons exist because the government contracted out prison operations. County jails contract out jail space with other county jails.

There are some county jails that work the prisoners, feed them enough caloric intake to survive. The prisoners, once released back to their own county, never want to return to that jail.

I'm sure Sheriff Joe in AZ runs his jail economically.

 

About the petty larceny case of the milk carton, the lawyer said

But this case also highlights the absurdity of placing cops in schools and expecting them to handle disciplinary issues that should be left to teachers, counsellors, and principals. If Turk did something wrong—and it's not at all clear he did—he should be scrubbing blackboards and clapping erasers, not facing charges.

Well, teachers haven't disciplined the children in many years and when did blackboards and erasers come back in vogue.

I'll wait for the investigation.

When Andre Harvey saw a police officer taking down a man, he did what's becoming increasingly common: he whipped out his phone and hit record.

But what the incident captured instead wasn't the worst aspect of police brutality, but the best example of officers and citizens banding together.
...
After the arrest, the detective promised the two men lunch at a local steakhouse Texas Land & Cattle.
One ordered a boneless rib eye and the other ordered a full rack of baby back ribs. Both had dessert. The lunch cost the detective almost $100 but said it was the least he could do.

"We are proud of these two good Samaritans and their willingness to place themselves in harm's way for the safety of others," the department said in a statement.

Texas Land & Cattle, a great steakhouse.

 

I'll wait for the investigation.

and I'll wait for how many thousands of dollars and months are spent, "investigating" and prosecuting this 65 cent carton of milk.
After all, there is no crime too small to spend our tax dollars, police officers, prosecutors, judges, and prisons on.

 

and this is what, "zero tolerance" looks like for LEOs:
"a mentally ill man found in his cell at Rikers Island Prison covered in vomit and feces with a rubber band tied around his genitals after being refused food, water, and medical care for a week."
“Rather than provide the critical care required,” medical staff and correction officers, “who knew that Mr. Ballard could not survive without medication, essentially stood by and watched as [he] languished, deteriorated and ultimately died.”

“We have zero tolerance for the mistreatment of any inmate.”
"officers involved in the incident still have jobs, that none of them faced any “significant salary consequences,” and that at least two of them have received promotions."

By the way, a rubber band around the scrotum is the usual method used to castrate pigs. (The 4 legged kind.)

None of them have faced any significant salary consequences? How about, None of them have been charged with first degree murder, or even negligent homicide.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has concluded its investigationinto the police shooting death of Philando Castile. The agency has handed its findings over to Ramsey County Attorney John Choi, in whose hands the future of the case now lies.

Choi must now decide if he alone will choose whether to to prosecute St. Anthony, Minn., police officer Jeronimo Yanez in Castile's death — or if he'd prefer to hand the case to a grand jury to determine whether Yanez should be charged.

Yep, that pesky due process is long, tedious, and expensive. Maybe they should have just tried, convicted, and executed him without due process ... it would be cheaper.

After all, the schools do not discipline anymore, they turn it over to the police no matter what ... "clock boy" is coming to mind.

 

Maybe they should have just tried, convicted, and executed him without due process ... it would be cheaper.

True. If the School Resource Officer was resourceful enough to just shoot the child, nobody would need a trial.

Maybe the school resource officer could write it up as a beneficial suggestion. Maybe the government will pay them a percentage of the "savings".

Man has this portion taken a wild turn.

Maybe the jail. But he costs the tax payers a bundle.
He's going to have to pay some of his own money this time. Maybe that will mellow him out a bit.

Profiling Hispanics.... This is the same sheriff who complained INS is not picking up the illegals he had detained.

So, the justice department says there is systemic profiling and finds a judge that agrees with them.

An IRS agent told me that they would wait to bring a case when they had a favorable judge hearing that case. They have no problems biding their time.

Systemic racism and systemic profiling must be akin to pornography ... I'll know it when I see it. In other words ... Biased because of one's beliefs ... On the judges part.

P.s. everyone profiles. Anyone who says they don't is lying. Acting on that profile can get one into or out of trouble.

 

But he costs the tax payers a bundle.

"The 83-year-old sheriff, who is seeking a seventh term this year"
If the voters keep re-electing him, they have consented to pay for his behavior...several times!

Yep, only in Arizona.
We had a governor that did almost as well. And that was my money. Must be something in the water.

We like our water to be pure and natural, no lead or fluoride. Old lead paint is a lot more dangerous to kids.

When Jourdan Duncan was stopped by police as he walked along a main road at the dead of night, he was apprehensive.

In many parts of the country there is a palpable tension between the police and the African-American community after a number of shootings.

But this was an encounter for which the lanky 18-year old, who was picked up as he walked home at the end of a night shift, is now profoundly grateful.

This police stop meant that he would no longer have to walk seven miles to get to and from his job, after the officers clubbed together to buy him a bike.

 

An answer to, "What should the police do?"

Hero police officer kills her 3 yr. old daughter in hot car, gets paid vacation:
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/child-dies-left-in-patrol-car/
Several other child deaths in overheated cars are listed, along with the lack of any charges for LEOs. Then there is how everybody else gets treated:

"A couple in Florida left their 11-month-old child in a car in a Walmart parking lot for 39 minutes — when they emerged from the store, waiting police promptly arrested the pair and charged them with neglect."

I would think enough of these video enforced payouts would get the attention of the local governments, but it doesn't seem to be a problem because it's taxpayer money.
