Jailer in jail.

The Hinds County Sheriff's Office issued the following press release:


Detention Officer Arrested

Everett
While conducting a routine search of employees entering into the Raymond Detention Center, deputies discovered one detention officer was breaking the law.

It was discovered through a technical search followed by a physical pat-down search, that Detention Officer Leora Everett reported for duty with contraband (s) in her possession.

Upon discovery, Everett was immediately arrested and charged with introducing contraband into a correctional facility.

"If we expect our inmates to comply with the rules and regulations while being housed in our facilities, then we certainly hold all of our employees to a higher standard," said Tyrone Lewis, Sheriff of Hinds County. "We will continue to be diligent and aggressive in our efforts to rid our facilities as well as the entire county of criminal activity and behavior."

Everett had been employed at the Raymond Detention Center since November 2014.

Nothing unusual about this. It is common practice for correctional officers at some facilities to supply inmates with contraband items. She must have pissed someone off and got snitched out.I knew a guy who was an inmate at Parchman once. He told me that he could get marijuana from the guards for less than in cost on the street.

most of the guards have no choice but to supply contraband. If they don't then their families are at risk. The black gangs run the show, both in and out of the pen.

People make dumb @$$ decisions like this because they mostly want to, very rarely, IMO, is it out of some threat to their family is they don't do so. These kinds are looking for some extra money on the side, or something to benefit them, trust, it's not nearly as much as their family being in jeopardy. I worked for MDOC for years and never got caught up in bringing inmates anything nor taking anything out of the prison. The weak minded, criminal minded, make such decision.

Wow. Barely 2 months of employment and facing prison time herself.

Do we pay these people so little that a side gig is necessary? What does our hiring process look like, such that criminal types are slipping into the fold?

Its a combination of low pay, black gang threats, and poor training. We are in a period of change in the jail/prison systems. The old concept of a "county jail" doesn't apply to Hinds County, or any county other than the very low population/rural counties. These problems are not new in Hinds County; the former sheriff was much more adept at keeping the publicity under the radar, although he was lucky enough not to have an all out riot that destroyed one fourth of the jail to focus public attention. I suspect that some inmates at the Raymond facility would rather be in MDOC than that out of control jail. Some of them, the "leaders" are perfectly content to stay there and enjoy the spoils of corruption that they can de facto command.

We need a new jail in Hinds County. It needs to be state-of-the-art multi-story and placed right next to the courthouse in downtown Jackson.

Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't want to solve the problem.

Mac wasn't a media whore Tyrone is. That's why everything the SO does is in the media. Great you arrested a former employee. What about the rash of burglaries in the county that hasn't been in the media?

5:53 - damn what an expert. Even to the point of knowing it needs to be 'multi-story'! I was actually agreeing until I realized you obviously have a special interest perspective with this detail.

And yes, I am someone that is 'telling you differently'. We probably do need a new jail. And it should be closer to downtown - but not necessarily next to the courthouse. And it doesn't necessarily need to be multi-story. And I don't have a building that I am trying to peddle to the supervisors that meets your - or my - description.

a new jail needs to be designed and built in downtown Jackson near the courthouse. this location is important because it eases security concerns with transport, not to mention the expense of transport.

a small jail needs to be built in Raymond, again near the courthouse there for the same reasons. small because there aren't many trials in the second district.

Jails are placed right next to courthouses all over the United States. Only way you eliminate the millions Hinds is spending annually in transportation costs is to place the jail right next to the courthouse. Period.

10:01 & 4:40 So Black Gang are different than White Gangs? I don't understand where you're coming from.

10:47; Let us know the next time you see a young white man, low riding in an 80s model car with a NASCAR plate. What white gangs?

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.
