Jackson Jambalaya

What happened to the notion of shooting or bull-whipping a prisoner who started this kind of crap? Total lockdown? Sheesh.

Phil Fisher to claim no prior knowledge of problems at Raymond in 3...2...1....

I believe this is the first time this has happened. Did Mac ever lose control? I know there are not enough detention guards. Most of them were fired or they left on their own after pay cuts. It will continue to go downhill.

The family, on noon news, is saying they relative is not responsible cause he be a good boy who don't start no trouble.

There's Robert Graham, all buttoned down, behind Tyromes talking about SWAT and 'we swore an oath to control thangs'.

"We have to make sure that we can move in a effective manner as well as a timely manner to ensure safety". What the hell does that mean?

looking good!

Maybe they should let them out on Friday nights more often for those Madison County throw-downs outside of Ridgeland, that way they could mingle more with their Madison County wannabe kid fans!

Unrelated but didn't know how to contact you (you should have an anonymous tips submission box!) -

Did you see this lawsuit?

Lawsuit Accuses For-Profit College of Bias Against Female and Minority Students

By Julia Love

Virginia College, a for-profit institution with campuses in 11 mostly Southern states, is defending itself against a lawsuit asserting that it misled students about the value of their degrees and violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by strategically taking aim at female and minority students in its advertising.

The lawsuit was filed by the Mississippi Center for Justice on behalf of seven students who attended the college's location in Jackson, Miss. The center's lawyers describe the lawsuit as one of the first to accuse a college of unfairly directing its advertising toward women and members of minority groups, which would also violate the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the lawyers said.

"The targeting of a predatory product to a racial minority is a form of intentional discrimination," said Courtney Choi, a legal fellow at the center. "These students can't pay back their student loans because they weren't adequately trained to get jobs in their field."

A Virginia College official said the lawsuit's assertions were baseless.

The seven students were enrolled in the college's medical-assistant program. All are women; five are black and two are white.

Virginia College allegedly sought to enroll African-American students by featuring people of that race in its advertising and engaging them to work on its admissions staff, according to the complaint. The document also alleges that the college purchased advertisements in Jackson's African-American newspapers and on buses that disproportionately served residents of that race.

Good one, 10:11 AM.

What a joke the Hinds County Sheriffs Office is. Might as well be called the Hinds County Police Department.

How did the prisoner get a cell phone????? WAPT was showing pictures of the riot inside the jail????

WAPT was showing pictures of the riot inside the jail????

Of course they were. That slipshod news outfit doesn't broadcast anything not handed to them on a silver plate.

I believe Tyrone said he was concerned for everyone' safeLy! I rewound it to make sure I heard it right.

The Virginia College lawsuit, as phrased, is a stretch. I agree that the so called 'college' offers an inferior product in it's 'diploomers', but this is crap. Advertising on busses that travel predominantly in black neighborhoods? Recruiting blacks and women in violation of the equal opportunity mandate? Hiring graduates to work in their recruiting arena as a means of further discriminating against those they attempt to recruit.

The ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center are succeeding at flooding the market with these nutcase female attorneys. What level of discrimination was at play when they got their Esquire shingles.

Three out of the four top articles on Jambalaya are the same shit about the jail. Really?
