When Arnie Matos was confirmed as Director of Corrections on Thursday night, he reported that the West Easton Treatment Center for DUI offenders and non-support fathers had just opened. There were 60 residents the next day. The jail census was at 706.

  11. When people go out on work release..good and bad stuff happens. Some run away..some get stoned..some do their jobs and come back on time. It's a microcosm of society as a whole. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Did anyone die? Was a crime committed? Give it a rest. Treatment facilities are less expensive and more efficent.

  13. DUI ??? How many of the critics out there have pushed the limits in driving under the influence??? Really ppl how can we help addictions in jail? We need to open our hearts and help those that have pushed the limits and got caught. The bible teaches is take he log out of your own eye before trying to take the speck out of your brothers eye. Matt 7:5

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
