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!

DRY HEAT!!!! LOL I was in Vegas when it was 117....it made our 105 HEAT INDEX feel like a joke....we all laughed when a woman said WE HAVE DRY HEAT SO ITS NOT AS HOT AS MISSISSIPPI!!! Sheriff Joe says if you dont like his accomodations dont come back!!!!

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?

Where o' where is Ingrid Norton in our hour of journo-need?

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.

"If y'all tear this sumbitch up, we'll get a brand new one, one you'll be proud to come back to. Ain't nobody gonna get hurt. It's a win-win."
