NorCo Jail Sends in the Hounds

NorCo Director of Corrections Arnie Matos has sent in the hounds. In a surprise inspection that he kept from most of his own staff, Matos enlisted the services of K-9 units from several local municipalities to search for contraband. In a random search, the jail came up clean. District Attorney John Morganelli helped fund the operation.

Why even tell the public? This is just PR spin on the jails part. Look..we're as clean as the driven snow. BS Bernie. They all knew this was coming despite the disclaimer.

Anything can be had....for a price.

As a former guest, can you elaborate?

I think that is a fair and truthful statement by Clinton. Money talks loudly at any jail and NCP is no different in that respect. Jail is an inconvenience to the well off..it is brutal to those with no money.

The jail has an economy all it's own. You can purchase/barter for whatever you wish as long as you can afford the inflated prices. It does in most ways mirror free society.

We've had this discussion before. There are good officers and very bad officers. Supplementing your pay check is a way to make extra cash. It's not encouraged obviously but the brotherhood accepts the practice. The admin. also looks the other way and pretends it isn't happening. It's a family affair so to speak. All part of the inbred penal system.

The dynamic of smuggling contraband into the Prison has changed, over the years. Usually, it was the purview of worker's with "Outside Clearance" returning inside from Dumpster Disposal. When that supply line was interupted, money would be sent to inmate's families, whom would make the necessary connection's on the outside to transfer the money to a Prison Guard with friend or family relations inside the Prison. @ $50.00 a pouch-of-Tobacco, Prison Guards were supplementing their Paycheck's by thousand's of dollar's a month! Money & Crime often go hand-in-hand. How "Moral" are the Keeper's of the Convicted? Most of us grew-up, went to school & hung around with each other. It's a small world where Truth & Perception rarely merge. It's called a Negative contract.

Thanks Clinton. Very well said but I'm afraid it will either fall on deaf ears or be totally ignored. Reality is..

Nobody wants to discuss the elephant in the room here..referring to the administration. This should be a major discussion point with the election of a new county executive in the offing. Will anybody touch it? Even Ron Angle was leery of the jail. Which candidate will have the guts to pull back the curtain?

I am told that one of the candidate intends to make it an issue. We shall see.
