Catch & Release! Squawk! Catch & Release! More MDOC Incompetence.
JPD arrested Kneefe Miller, Jr. for kidnapping, auto theft, and being a convicted felon carrying a concealed weapon yesterday. JPD also arrested Jordan Collins several days ago for kidnapping and auto theft.
Junior was naturally under house arrest.
House arrest didn't deter Junior because he pleaded guilty in April to house burglary committed on November 28, 2018. Judge Faye Peterson has not yet sentenced the convict.
So let's get everything straight. Junior was convicted of house burglary and auto burglary in 2018 in February and June of 2018. Judge Bill Gowan sentenced him to serve three years under house arrest. Junior commits another burglary just a few months later while under house arrest. Junior pleads guilty in April to the charge while under house arrest. Junior allegedly kidnaps and steals a car two weeks ago while under house arrest.
What does it take for MDOC to lock him up?

Just goes to show you you cant get perps to stay "inside the house" while on "house arrest".
No justice- no peace
This is what the people of Jackson vote for. It must be what they want. I don't see a single protest for the victims.
I have no idea what to do if one of these thugs breaks into my home. Is it racist to defend myself? Am I supposed to run out the back door and just let them take whatever they want? God help me if Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper paint a target on me or my business!
Would some Xhe/Xir from Fondren please let me know what the proper "woke" and "intersectional" response would be?
Do the Police know what they are doing to the judicial system in our area. They arrest good people and expect the courts to do something to keep them off the streets, when it is obvious the courts have no inclination to do that.
What a waste of time and taxpayer money. Defund the police and let Mommy Nature weed out the weak.
Looks intense, in a smoldering way. Prophet, I'm sure.
Damn! 2-charges were in MADISON county! Usually they throw them away. Especially Emfinger. MDOC follows court orders. Somebody dropped the ball on this convict.
What's the question about MDOC?
If he was sentenced to "house arrest", does MDOC have any authority to change that sentence by the Judge to lock him up in their facilities?
Just asking, KF. Can MDOC convert the house arrest to the farm?
I'm sure they were both good boys who were turning their lives around after enduring a troubled childhood. It's not their fault.
9:30am, you bring up a good point: Normally, the Castle Doctrine would protect you from someone breaking into your house; however, these days, if you take action against an intruder, you could be charged under the legal system for which THEY voted, and you would be tried by a jury of THEIR peers.
Just another reason - if not the main reason - there's no real justification for taking the risk of living in Jackson any longer. It doesn't even resemble the city in which I was raised........
I definitely recognize his name from Angel Tree 2004.
Defund the judiciary. They're clearly making plenty from the outside.
I don't understand why you guys don't support rehabilitation at home versus the costly, racist, punitive incarceration system which fosters more system racism? Defund the Po Po. Abolish ICE. What could happen? He was at HOME, nursing sick kittens and imagining a more just and verdant world, like the sponsors on MPR. Dindu nuffin.
Jacktown.
A city of helpless misunderstood victim-waifs simply crying out for justice and reparative social action, all brought on by the evil "system." Volunteer unarmed safety patrols, on rainbow scooters. Legalized free drugs. Injection rooms. Gang leaders keeping the peace (and their territory and profits). Universal basic income. Free housing. Free food. Free phones. Free booze. Pat them on the heads, and say "Poor thing. Poor, poor thing." Free everything. Mandatory voter registration to age 16 and all felons. No borders. No jails. No laws. That's Justice!!! Utopia!!!
That's the other type of FreeDumb. The Kumbaya God is Just A Hippie Who Loves Every Evil Act Cuz You Just Misunderstood kind of FreeDumb.
9:28 Thank you
As I understand it, the court hands down the sentence. If the inmate/parolee/probationer violates the terms of the house arrest/release/probation, it's up to MDOC to file to have it revoked.
Revocation doesn't require a conviction for a new crime beyond a reasonable doubt; it just requires a finding that it is more probable than not that the violation occurred. If and when that happens, the full, suspended sentence can be instituted.
A common misunderstanding is the perception that the violation of the terms of the house arrest/release/probation is punished more severely than the underlying conviction. In reality, the violation results in the revocation of the privilege of the suspension of the sentence.
Therefore, when those who seek to decriminalize antisocial behavior succeed at the level of the courts, their next step is to stop revocations at the agency level, i.e., MDOC. That, in my opinion, is why MDOC Commissioner is a very important job. I'm not an expert in this area, and I expect that maybe someone who knows more than I can correct and/or add to this comment.
There goes the whole "Madison county is tough on crime" BS argument...
