According to Abe Atiyeh's Chief Operating Officer Mickey Thompson, NorCo Executive John Brown would like to increase the capacity at the West Easton Work release facility from 100 to 120. He would also like to include “low-level non-violent offenders” in addition to DUI offenders and deadbeat dads.
Currently, the census there is between 50 and 70, and Brown would like it to be more cost efficient.
No action was taken by West Easton Borough Council at their meeting on Monday night.

This was predicted when the place opened. It was always the plan to be a second prison. Fooled few in the know.
Should nonviolent offenders be in jail? Is this the best option or can we get more creative than that?
The courts decide who goes to jail and who walks. When the judges relent..then the jail population will stabilize and costs can be reduced accordingly. W. Easton can house up to 200 or more inmates if expanded on that site with modifications. County has their foot in the door and Atiyeh owns the building. W. Easton needs the money. You figure it out.
Key sentence... "The implication was that a possibility existed that Executive Brown may not renew a contract for the facility."
Fill it or close it.

Unfortuately, some people are only compelled to meet their financial obligations to their children when they are incarcerated and can only leave the facility for work release. My friend's ex-husband,for example, snorts his entire paycheck up his nose instead of paying his child support when left to his own devices.
Cupcake in Nazareth needs to be making more arrests so Abe can continue to feed his political minions.
Cupcake O'Hare from Nazareth does not have arrest powers.
That little turd Matt Dees caught a tongue lashing from the mayor and was stammering a quasi apology in response, quite a sight. Better stick to driving the short bus and designing rubbish websites.
I watched Dees video and he just gave that two faced, hand shaking wind bagged Mayor the truth. The biggest joke is when the Mayor tried to cover up the $million$ left out of the budget by the council president.
Dees can't handle the truth.
Any body who calls them self Dandy Lion is a Nancy Boy.
Dandy Lion is one of the sock puppets used by Mezzacappa. She is a weed. She uses this story about the work release center to attack Dees, the Mayor and just about everyone else that strikes her fancy. Contrary to what she thinks, sun does not rise and set on her, and people have interests aside from her own petty obsessions of the week. On the bright side, she should be behind bars very soon.
More Inmates less Officers...not a good combination
