Hinds County Sheriff Lee Vance was still warm in the grave before interim Sheriff Marshand Crisler starting blaming the late Sheriff for his own problems. Exhibit 1: Supervisors started directing jail operations. JJ reported Friday:
WLBT reported Friday:
Sheriff Marshand Crisler said he learned about the order from WLBT and that to his knowledge, the detainee had not been moved.
However, as a result of the order, the sheriff said he was implementing a new standing order to prevent such transfers from happening without his knowledge...
“The previous administration had a relationship with the board of supervisors where the president of the board may make a phone call on behalf of a constituent so that the inmate may be relocated,” he said. “That is not uncommon... but it’s not a policy that I support.”
He did not say what administration put the policy in place and did not know how long it had been place.
Sources who spoke to WLBT on the condition of anonymity that supervisors in the past have never been able to order inmate transfers.... Article
However, a former Sheriff who is still alive said that has never been the policy:
Eric Wall, who says he resigned on September 3, served under the late Sheriff Lee Vance, and former Sheriff Tyrone Lewis, who was in office from 2012 to 2016, says supervisors have never been allowed to direct inmate transfers, and would not have been allowed to even if they tried.
“That policy was not put in place in my administration,” Lewis said. “I don’t know where that came from.”...
Wall also denied supervisors could direct inmate transfers. “Absolutely inaccurate. Either this is a situation of incompetence or a situation where the person that is the interim sheriff of Hinds County just has no idea of what’s doing.”
Wall served as chief deputy under the late Sheriff Vance, who passed away from COVID-19 in August. Wall went on to serve as acting sheriff until Crisler was appointed to the position on an interim basis in mid-August.
He was put on administrative leave by Crisler in late August and is now running against Crisler to fill the remainder of Vance’s term... Article
Sources told JJ that Mr. Crisler held a meeting Friday morning and engaged in a witch-hunt to find out who leaked the memo.

Crisler and Calhoun are caught. Forbes has been moved back to the Detention Center, at least until they determine the spotlight to be off.
Bottom line, a dirty gunner with a dirty gun was given special treatment by Crisler and Calhoun.
Third world county and city. This is what you expect to see in some banana republic.
Forbes must be kin to someone with a little bit of disposable cash. And you know they love some untraceable cash.
What scholar typed up that transfer order doc?
One of the problems with Jackson and Hinds county is that elected officials are always running to become part of the problem and never part of the solution. Probably because becoming part of the solution doesn't pay quite as well, but that's more of a deep seated cultural problem where corruption is condoned amd expected instead of not tolerated.
“The previous administration had a relationship with the board of supervisors where the president of the board may make a phone call on behalf of a constituent so that the inmate may be relocated,” he said. “That is not uncommon... but it’s not a policy that I support.”
PROVE IT Marshand. Show us the orders, tell us who was moved, tell us which Supervisor made the request.
Marshand is like a teenager: "But everyone does it..."
Calhoun and Crisler got caught red handed. And Vern will pay at election time for voting against his neighbor Leon Seals for Sheriff. Vern is desperate to be relevant (and still is not).
Sh!t show.
Both Tyrone and Lee Vance were ELECTED by popular vote. Marshand is not showing much sense dissing those two, especially Vance. Marshand just showing what we already knew.
Marshand is a GRIFTER, always has been. He has made a career leaching off the government. Ask anyone who worked with him during his time with the National Guard, his short stint with the Sheriffs Office, anywhere. Like able guy but a do nothing. If he is elected you will see incidents like this on a regular basis.
Just another thought, who needs a policy to prevent a strange voice over the phone from ordering anything at the jail. If Credell told them to release him would they have done that?
Bad move Marshand. People will not forget this. Enjoy the stars while you have them.
Credell wouldn't have made the request without knowing in advance that the request was going to be honored. Think about that.
Never build yourself up by tearing someone else down.
Another empty shirt with a big ego and a pencil-whipped resume. I doubt that he has ever arrested and cuffed someone, ever.
Richard Spooner is the best choice! He knows the sheriff department backwards and forth. We need someone who has been in the trenches and has knowledge of what's going on in the day to day operations. He knows how the jail should be operated based on him starting out in the jail. Let's give him a chance to show the citizens how a sheriff department should be versus a police department. You can't run them by the mentality of a JPD officer, past or present.
Marshand, I’m going to tell on you! You have a Deputy that drives you around everywhere you go. Why do you need a chauffeur? Could that Deputy be needed elsewhere combating crime.
You are just showing the voters of Hinds County how arrogant you are!
Marshand, you need an advisor, cause the shigity you are doing, just ain’t copasetic! It ain’t cool! Lee Vance was the real deal!
You must be really desperate Marshand, take responsibility and move on!
All things considered, Eric Wall may be the best choice of the 13 candidates running to serve out the term of office.
Crisler is a damn joke, always has been! He accomplished nothing as a deputy and will accomplish nothing as sheriff. Hinds County doesn’t deserve this clown but the joke of all jokers Credell Calhoun and others like him will assure he is elected! I never thought I would agree with Archie but he moved way up in my book when he supported Leon Seals. Crisler is an embarrassment to Hinds County, what kind of fool would blame a dead man for his ignorant actions?
@1:21 - you're giving Credell way too much credit.
Crisler will not even finish 4th place. He's married to Evil and he is Peggy's nephew. Credell have Earl & Floyd putting Crisler signs out on County time and tearing down the others signs.
Top 3
Jones
Crisler
Seals. Seals misses the runoff because of Spooner-Tannehill in race.
Bet
Conman Crisler & Conman Calhoun
1. Somebody up in here be lyin'.
2. Who it be?
3. What difference do it make?
Marshand know his chance at the job depends on not pissin' off the Calhoun Crowd. They strong as the Clintons.
You think anybody in Hinds shiv a git about this stuff? Nope. Most just trying to figure how to make it work for them and they family too.
State or Feds need to take over Hinds.
