Sheriff briefs Supervisors (Video)

Here is the video of the emergency meeting of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors yesterday. Sheriff Tyrone Lewis briefed the supes and county officials on the latest information about the riot. The discussion grew lively at times as the board wrestled with the problem of what to do with incoming prisoners since the capacity was reduced by nearly 200 spaces in the detention center.

Here is an outlandish thought, "was this staged to support building a city jail?" Conspiracy theorists jump on board!

We are paying $40/day per prisoner to house these thugs in Rankin and Mad. Co. Jails. I wonder what the per day cost is to Sheriff Joe Arpio in AZ to house prisoners in his famous tent city jail compound. No AC, no expensive pods, and no luxuries. Would such an option work here? Surely the county has some vacant land which could be used for a penal camp.

I bet it was hard for old Kenny to say thank you to the law enforcement to Rankin and Madison Counties for housing their thugs...

The heat in Arizona is a dry heat. Our perps are much more sensitive to humidity than the Hispanics that are housed in Uncle Joe's Spa and Resort.

@3:59. Not to downplay the problems the HCDC has been plagued with since the beginning. But it does seem rather convenient that these escapes, riots or what have you have been seemingly happening every other week since Lewis took over. This is nothing a few big top tents, cots, port o john and a few rows of razor wire can't fix.

There are way to many bleeding heart liberals who would say that it's unfair and its being done because the majority of the Hinds County inmate population is black.

You'd never get a Sheriff Joe special Prison Camp built here in MS before the Feds whacked everyone silly.

All of them should descend on Fondren and demand their rights to be a JFP intern!

This is a perfect way to get your jail remodeled quickly. Anyone besides me think this may have been planned?
Let's hope they can hire a qualified contractor and get a job worth the money being spent on the repairs.

My answer: Hire more law enforement and lock up more people.

It was an official unofficial emergency meeting but not a state of emergency. But if you think we should call it official we will need Ms Martin to tell us if it is an official emergency meeting or an unofficial emergency meeting..WTF

As for Arizona...I would say that the tents and port-a-johns are a step up from that jail and a crack house.

Does anyone in that room know how to turn their phone to vibrate?

Really? Is this all that's worthy of reporting in the ten county area?

Do you have a transcript of this meeting? Glad you taped it, but 46:51 minutes is too damn long. Hitting the highlights in you introduction article would be helpful. Use of the word "wrestled" is a little much, unless you're JFP.

Mac tried a tent city inside the yard at Raymond years ago. It didn't work.

Shadow, you can always start your own blog or go read the clarion-Ledger

Four out of your top five threads relate to this stupid subject. You could be at Chic Fil A this morning video taping the cool people who have the = stickers on their windows.

Well now, dem deh chickens have come home to roost haven't they? let me remind all of you thoughtful voters of Hinds County, you got what what you wanted, Tyrone dah man! Heck, if there is as much water as he claims his loving throngs of supporters will start calling him Noah!!!!!

I am curious, the way the story has been told, as to how a prisoner was able to get his hands on a fire hose, unreel it, turn the water on and flood the cell block before the guard got to him that was in pursuit. I swear that there is a lot more here to learn that we don't have the correct information on.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
