It's time to focus on the Hinds County Sheriff's race. Posted below is the debate held last Thursday night at Jackson State University. It is a good opportunity to become familiar with the two candidates who want your vote.
all the plans are nice, but it's time to inject a little bit of reality into this mess. The sheriff's office simply does not have the manpower to fight crime in Jackson as it once did thanks to the consent decree. It will not be surprising if the jail is placed under receivership. The Sheriff has to dump manpower and money into the black hole that is the Raymond Detention Center. Conceived in the original sin of graft and incompetence, the jail has born some poisonous fruit indeed. The Sheriff is the only law enforcement protection for the unincorporated parts of Hinds County. Thus, the Sheriff probably only has two dozen or so deputies to spare for fighting crime in Jackson.

Free the inmates. Problem solved.
The fact that people are seriously considering Crisler at this point really makes me sympathize with the men and women of the sheriff's dept
Who cares?
Hinds County and Jackson don't even exist anymore. It's just a geographical label referring to a literal black hole full of crime, corruption, violence and death.
I am writing in Chowke's sister for sheriff. She is just as qualified.
looking for "like" button for 7:59 and 8:02.
Not that I fully understand all of the nuances to running the Raymond DC, but wouldn't it make more sense to pay other jails to house the worst offenders and use the penal farm for the lite weights? Then regroup to come up with a real long term solution? All the while, the deputies that the department does have can be used for LEO work.
All of this is predicated upon the BOS and new sheriff actually using their brains, so it probably will just be business as usual...
I have been amazed that an investigation concerning the bid process & construction of the jail under the leadership of then supervisor Bennie Thompson was never conducted. Out of state contracts were awarded and then the contractors/architects sublet to local firms to complete the work. I am told that currently county and city elected officials brazenly demand kickbacks on contracts awarded.
I'm writing Leon Seals name in... That Tyree guy seems to be on steroids or something and sheriff Crisler seems sleep.
VOTE TYREE JONES = LAW ENFORCEMENT
MARSHAND CRISTLER = CAREER DEMOCRAT POLTICAN
So let me guess, the jail was in perfect condition when Vance was in office and they’ve magically become bad overnight since Crisler was appointed. Spare me…..
@4:03 PM
Seals is a constable.
@9:46 PM
So let me guess the jail was in perfect condition when Victor Mason was in office but became bad overnight after Vance was appointed.
It's being rigged as we speak. Crisler wins. Sorry folks.
The warden Kathrin Bryan at RDC has done nothing but claim to "not know" or point fingers for her failures. All while doing illegal things like telling contractors to come in and do work "and she will handle it" before the county even has a quote or PO ready. Shad White could have a field day with that. Employees resigning as sky rocketed under her and her "leadership" but that of course never her fault.
Guess runnin RDC isn't like runnin the small 100 bed jails she has before.
@12:25 Hey, Othor do you remember when the Justice Department called Tyrone Lewis incompetent?
