Jackson Jambalaya

Granny used to hit Jethro in the head with a cast iron skillet, looks like them fellas used a George Foreman Grill on his head.

Unacceptable. He was being held pretrial. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

This guy have any connection to Jamie Hoard who was attacked a few days ago? Sounds like Victor and Pete have the jail under control...about the same way Tony Yarber had a handle on running the city of Jackson.

There is no denying that inmates run the Hinds county jail. The sheriff’s staff is there to be visible and appear as if they are at least trying to do a good job. All while Victor sits in a chair doing nothing and thinking he has the tax payers fooled. This dummy believes his own BS. At least the last sheriff made some kind of effort to repair the situation. This clown has no other plan than to earn his four highest paid years to boost his retirement. They should strip it from him and place it in the county general fund for wasting tax dollars.

"Unacceptable. He was being held pretrial. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? "

Absolutely. You go right ahead and go in there and explain this noble principle to the thugs in there.

I'll wait out here with the paramedics.

555...you do realize that it was other inmates beat him,right? You must be a clueless bleeding heart liberal

Lol, Mason will send Rushings back there to beg and plead for the the inmates to settle down and not riot this close to election time..
But too late Victor, this will only get worse for ya and worse for the inmates, because now, their bringing attention to themselves.

Helps on the way from someone who's actually worked from the jail and up through the ranks and his name is. . .

R.W.Spooner..

Victor Mason, Pete Luke, Mary Rushings, and their small group of dumbasses won't even be effected with this except for not being rehired with the new Admin.

Rushing makes 87G to do nothing! Pete loves to hide behind the curtain, and the rest are just praying this doesn't get worse and made public by the media because they'll never be employable anywhere else.

7:45 - What's an out of control public jail got to do with liberalism? You dunce! These facilities are staffed with armed guards and the walls and ceiling are lined with cameras.

454..you really are clueless... the guards are unarmed and nothing in the facility works properly, including the guards. What does it have to do with liberalism, liberals have no clue of how things work when they are telling you how to fix a problem. This is an obvious example
The problem here are the savages in custody came from the streets of Jackson, guess where they will return? Let me help you, back to the streets...

I'm appalled that any American thinks the presumption of innocence has to do with being " a bleeding heart liberal" and didn't " get" that 5:55 pm was referring to those who beat the prisoner AND those whose responsibility it is to keep the inmates physically safe.


Thug mentality is apparently not limited to gangs these days. After all, some of you support the idea that some people are above the law since it's ok with you for a President or Governor and his appointees and supporters and family to commit crimes and be pardoned and you think they should have to right to decide whether someone is punished for a crime.

So your "gang" leaders can punish those they don't like and set free those they do.

You must support the notion of a criminal regime in this country since you are NOT screaming for that " loophole"( if it exists) to be CLOSED!

I would have expected every elected representative in every State and Congress to have put in a bill to make sure no such loophole CAN exist. And, I would have expected everyone running for office to promise to close such a loophole.

So I it's not against the law to assualt someone in Jail, how about in the Court House?

There was a link on Drudge back in March to an article in the Miami Herald where they were shocked that a federal inmate in Pennsylvania had actually been caught with a cell phone and had posted selfies online. My thought was: "Really? They're surprised? Heck, I was under the impression our Hinds County jail ISSUED cell phones to the inmates upon their arrival!"

I'm in no way suggesting that being a prison guard is even remotely easy. I wouldn't do that job, but I'm thankful there are those who will. That being said, inmates are people over which jailers have 100% control over 100% of inmates' activities 24/7/365. It seems to me there's a long list of reasons why allowing inmates to possess cell phones would be a HUGELY bad practice! While I realize the phones are contraband, and, therefore, not "allowed," they're not terribly easy to conceal (like drugs or money) and they can't be manufactured (like shanks or alcohol). So, is it somehow unconstitutional or "unfair" to have cameras placed throughout the facility (even in cells)?

Again, I'm aware that prison is a bad place, full of people who are not inclined to follow any types of rules or laws. I know who we're dealing with here. Furthermore, I'm not suggesting the solution is simple, but I AM suggesting that should be nearly curable.................

June 5, 2018 at 8:10 AM = Copious exaggeration

Am I correct to assume this was NOT one of the Jail's cameras that recorded this video and that it was one of the inmates who posted it?

6:32 AM - spot on! Only a clueless liberal would think that jail guards are armed. If they were, the inmates would take their weapon/s from them in a heartbeat.

@8;10 - we can ALWAYS spot a "bleeding heart liberal" by what they say. Take YOU, for example. "IF ONLY" we conservatives "had a heart" those mean boys in the county jail would respect the rule of law and understand they must presume that guy didn't kill the other guy (even though the probably KNOW without a shadow of doubt that he DID) and give him the benefit of doubt until he has his day in court. And, "IF ONLY" we "had a heart", we'd understand why, because of they are "poor, underprivileged children" they just don't can't help robbing & stealing & killing from the rest of the world, INCLUDING other "poor & underprivileged children" so, when the guy finally gets his day in court, we'd never hold him accountable for "short-comings" but, instead, we'd realize that he is actually just a "victim circumstance" and send him home to mama. If ONLY.

Perfecr reason to elect R W Spooner. He’s got the experience and track record of properly dealing with these thugs. They do this stuff in jail and they do a lot worse on the street. The clown Victor and his clownette Pete obviously don’t know how to handle these folks and keep them under control, which is why they should be tossed out of office.

Victor and Pete are a major contributor to the crime spike you are experiencing in Hinds County and the surrounding areas. It’s called crime control stupid.

Victor doesn’t understand, but Spooner does.

Spooner will fix this mess.

810.. i will say this you are sticking to the script. Can back up anything you say so you switch to bashing something else... once you are proven wrong on one subject ots hard to have credibility on another

"There was a link on Drudge back in March to an article in the Miami Herald where they were shocked that a federal inmate in Pennsylvania had actually been caught with a cell phone and had posted selfies online."

Charles Manson had a cell phone at one point. How a man who left civilization in 1969 learned how to operate a smart phone is beyond me, but it happened.

Dammit Spooner, Kingfish is gonna start charging your ass rent pretty soon.

life for a life seems fair to me

Whether or not this guy did anything wrong is not the problem. The problem is where are the officers and why are there cell phones in jail for these animals ? Jackson is done and no coming out of the hole that they have dug for themselves. Rankin County needs to house these animals and close Hinds County Detention Center. Sheriff of Hinds County should be held criminally responsible for not being able to maintain his jail. Did this guy die? To hell with Jacktown!

Life for a Life for someone just charged with the crime but NOT convicted for the crime... What evidence do they have? So whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Then I'm reading these comments as a previous Corrections Officer at Hinds county detention center, Corrections Officers are NOT ARMED, the only thing we was armed with was a can of OC Spray and that **** is nothing to some inmates. Most of these inmates don't respect their own mama and surely didn't respect authority. THE INMATES RUN THE JAIL!! Cellphones, drugs, weapons are ALL in that place, the cell doors DON'T LOCK, they have jammed them to the point they can't be repaired, certain officers entertain and instigate fights and rule violations. It's sad!! They only thing that was in order dealing with Hinds County Detention Center is JDC -Jackson Detention Center but RDC- Raymond is too far gone. Captain Dalton was the best thing going for Hinds County Detention Center - She went in to JDC and cleaned it up, wiped it clean there was NO CONTRABAND and VIOLENCE WAS NOT TOLERATED by staff or inmates period under NO CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!

News travels fast, they know he is guilty. I can definitely tell none of you are "street" enough to know what's going on here. Lets talk about the fact that he was released on a bond and is now NOWHERE to be found. Oh yeah sounds like a law abiding citizen to me. Be careful who you kill, it might get you killed.
