Do not go to jail, it’s dangerous
Reports are slowly coming in about an incident that happened 2 weeks ago in the Montgomery County Jail. An inmate, was beat for almost 15 minutes in his cell, by 8 other inmates while being held in a “rollover cell.” Two or three other inmates in the 12 person cell didn’t participate, but also didn’t hit the panic button for fear of them being next.
The inmate was taken to the hospital where he has been in ICU for the last two weeks. The prognosis is not good, with him suffering a brain bleed, facial fractures and other injuries.
This was before another genius guard lost a pepper spray, only to end up in the hands of an inmate who gassed 8 other inmates in a reported story. What was left out was that when the cell was cleared, multiple homemade weapons were found including multiple shanks (sharpened objects that can be used like knives).
This will cost the taxpayers another million or so in a settlement, while we continue to let the jail be run by the same people who’ve already cost us over $10M in settlements.
I seem to recall a candidate who ran for Dayton City Commission who’s number one priority was a safe jail. Too bad for Lance Jones, because that guy didn’t get elected.
Just remember, you can be in jail before you are found guilty of anything. Are you willing to continue to take the chance that you, your loved ones, or friends, are next?
Great news coverage, However, Dayton doesn’t seem to care what happens to it community. No one cares until one of their loved ones are put in there. The cover ups are excessive. These law suits are outrageous. The jail is non profit, which means any and all suits filed against them will be paid from the tax payers of Montgomery County. A large percentage of the staff especially the high ranking officials don’t even live in the county. The courts and judges are aiding and abetting the conduct with in the jail. Not one jail staffer has been disciplined for their violations. Just write a check at the tax payers expense is their solution. Wake up you so called religious and equal right agencies. Do your job, stop hiding behind that dollar cover up bill. NAACP what a shame, if the founders could see what you have done to this agency, they would be rolling in their graves.
