Can't stop progress.

i know a sure fire way to not be there........DONT BE A CROOK.....

there is your results from a drug court, all bad

I wonder if Bartlett is trying to sweet talk the citizens of Decatur and Morgan cty. LOL It's too late .. you have a bad record on taking care of our prisoners. We know it's all about how much you can steal from the inmates. Charging high prices for chips and crackers.. starving them .. You might as, well start packing.

I hope your right Lee.There is more going on at that jail than what is printed in the DD.

The easiest thing in the world today is, stay out of jail; the idiots that can't do something that easy need to be locked up, I don't give a damn what they feed them.

I agree with you, Kay! They are not starving, & if you want little debbies & ciggaretts that is your choice.. they don't HAVE to have those things. There are a lot more people in jail that have done VERY bad things than there are those are innocent.

I AGREE WITH YOU LEE, BARLETT NEEDS TO START PACKING, HE WILL BE LEAVING, HE WILL BE GOING, THANK GOD

I'll tell you another one. I watched elderly mom and dads go to put money in an account for their love ones and Bartlett charges them to give it to the inmates. Just go to the jail and watch and see.
