New York Times: Rankin Sheriff Used Prisoners on Mama's Farm.

 Sheriff: Get your facts straight!

The New York Times and Mississippi Today reported Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey used trustees to and county assets such as gravel and trucks on his mother's farm in Puckett.  The Times reported: 

Bryan Bailey, the Mississippi sheriff whose department had been under federal investigation for torturing people, staffed his mother’s commercial chicken farm with inmates from the county jail and used taxpayer-purchased equipment to improve the grounds, according to four former inmates and a former deputy who said they had worked on the farm....

Former trusties and others who worked on Sheriff Bailey’s family farm said inmates had received cash or meals in exchange for the work. The former deputy, Christian Dedmon, who is currently serving a federal prison sentence, said he had worked on the farm while he was on the clock at the sheriff’s department....

The reporting revealed that for most of his 13 years in office, Sheriff Bailey used his position as the highest paid and most powerful public figure in his suburban county in ways that financially benefited himself and his family. Through his department’s attorney, Sheriff Bailey declined to comment for this article....

 

 

Mr. Dedmon said the sheriff had instructed him to use a construction vehicle, bought by the department in 2019 for $97,000, to till soil for corn and clear wooded areas on the farm. The vehicle, called a skid steer by those who used it, was sometimes stored there, he said....

County financial records show that since 2018, the sheriff’s department has purchased skid steer attachments worth more than $50,000, nearly $10,000 worth of weed killer, as well as supplies designed to care for poultry....

Mr. Dedmon said that in 2020, he paid trusties to build the back deck of his home, at Sheriff Bailey’s suggestion...

Nearly all the former inmates interviewed by Mississippi Today praised the trusty program, saying it had helped them beat addiction and build skills for life after release. Several said they had no complaints about the work they did, including their duties at the farm.... Rest of article.

 

Sheriff Bailey wasted no time in responding to the article and fired back with a hard-nosed statement this afternoon: 

To keep the public informed about programs at the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department and due to recent misconceptions about the Trusty Inmate and Work Release Programs, Sheriff Bailey has added a section to his website dedicated to both, including several success stories relayed by former Trustees and businesses that employ them.  Trustee/inmate info on website

Further, a recent attack on Sheriff Bailey and his family has maliciously used unreliable sources and/or false allegations in an attempt to tarnish his reputation and/or shut down the Trusty Programs (Rankin County has the only Work Release Program in Mississippi). The truth not disclosed by the article is as follows:

* Regardless of which governmental or private entity a Trustee works for, they are paid pursuant to statute and keep wages earned by them according to statute.

* Despite being authorized by statute to keep 15% of all wages earned by Trustees as an administrative fee, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department keeps none of their money and allows them to use or save that additional money in their own private bank accounts.

* Sheriff Bailey purchased ~ 25 loads of gravel from a local business and was given recycled, crushed concrete from a private demolition company that was used to cover roads at McLain Farms.

*  Sheriff Bailey owns a skid steer that is all-but identical to and commonly confused for the one owned by Rankin County.

* The Rankin County Jail has its own chickens and chicken coop used for Trustees to have fresh eggs. The four brooder lamps, five heat lamp bulbs, one brooder house, chicken feed, and netting at issue in the article were purchased with seized drug funds for use at the Jail’s chicken coop and for the benefit of Trustees.

* The corn and other vegetables picked by Trustees at McLain Farms are given to the Trustees and brought back to the Jail for their use.

Kingfish note: We haven't heard the last of this one.  Stay tuned.

If anyone has a skid steer for sale tonight, I’d bet the disgraced sheriff would pay more than asking price for immediate delivery. He may not be smart or decent, but he sure can talk.

It's obvious that Bryan Bailey is gonna die on the innocent until proven guilty hill. How he separated himself from the Goon Squad is still a mystery. But the question remains....is he gonna be investigated ?

Former Rankin County Sheriff Deputy Christian Dedmon has nothing to loose or gain from telling the truth about what he himself has participated in and witnessed going on in the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. In a previous release from his confessions, he further details the horrific depth of the citizen abuses he and othe deputies carried out against the people of Rankin County. He stated about once per week, for many years this was done. There is NO WAY that Bryan Bailey did not know of this. That is the beginning and end of that. The truth is coming out and the Sheriff should be held accountable for all his illegal actions.

Who the hell are YOU? KF posted the response from the subject of the story. That's what's supposed to happen.

It is not the same thing as reporting an entirely separate "story," provided by the subject, in order to give him cover and a possible defense to federal corruption charges. Obviously, I'm referring to Anna Wolfe and Mississippi Today, and the way they handle the news of Chockwe Antar Lumumba's indictment.

I don’t think Bryan Bailey realizes the very serious depth of all this.I never feared the sheriff deputies till the abuses they perpetrated on citizens was made public.I asked then, how many other “missions “ the goon squad had carried out, how many other deputies carried drugs to plant on people, how many other deputies knew what was going on and looked the other way? Hopefully the Department of Justice is fully investigating this and will do the right thing. The people of Rankin County deserve no less.Sheriff Bryan Bailey will be in the history books as running one of the dirtiest departments in history. Someone with the wherewithal should write a book or make a movie, in the hopes of maybe preventing this from ever happening again.

Bailey is a shitty little crooked redneck POS (from the peanut gallery/cheap seats). You're not the peanut gallery, you're the MC. I'd hoped you were better than the above strongly indicates. Be a man, admit your error at least in phrasing, apologize for that error, and let's move on to more important matters. Or not.

There is about 0 - zero - chance Bailey was using "trustees" to do anything on anyone's farm. Admittedly, it seems pedantic, but if an intelligent discussion or argument is going to be had, that is not a good start.

I got questions! Why is Dedmon singing, now? Why is X wife singing, now? Bailey needs to go but without his pension. If he doesn’t run for re-election he gets his pension. If he’s made to step down, he gets NO pension. He is the highest paid Sheriff in all. He won’t run. Period. But he will take a lot of $ with him. He needs firing. The Goon Squad is enough proof of his character. He should be with them.

Multiple wrongs don’t make a right said:

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey should also be held accountable for the amped up low IQ idiotic actions of his goons. And if true, same with the gravel, using his position to spy on the affair of his mistress with a 3rd guy, etc., etc., etc.

But rest assured, the New York Times, staffed with plenty of those White Liberal Democrats Malcom X so correctly warned us about (the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere) only pretends to care about this Rankin County Sheriff Bailey issue, because Bailey is Republican.

When the New York Times starts caring enough to accurately report about the innocent children being murdered and killed with stray bullets in “Democrat controlled/loves high crime” cities like Jackson, MS, then maybe the NYT’s can claim some credibility, i.e. some integrity.

But just like many if not most of the white liberal Democrats down here, that safely insulate themselves and their babies from the risks of heinous crimes by living behind gates (or worse in the Republican controlled suburbs) and sending their babies to elite private schools, it’s a good bet the NYT’ers are doing something similar.

Chaos, crime and dead children for thee, but not for me, says the White Liberal Democrat (so let’s just keep reporting on that gravel!).

“Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely” Lord Acton. Bryan Bailey has run a corrupt department for years. He states information came from “ unreliable sources .” This recent information came from Christian Dedmon, former Rankin County Deputy, who has first hand knowledge of the depth of the issues in the department. He stated “ I hid everything for him.” This is much bigger than the trusty program. It’s about the atrocities committed by the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department on citizens of Rankin County. The former deputies no longer have allegiance to Bryan Bailey. I’m hoping the other Goon Squad members will be interviewed by the FBI and DOJ, and will tell the truth of all this.Bryan Bailey was/ is delusional when he previously stated, let’s put this behind us.I hope every time he tries to sleep, the reality of his actions haunt him to the point he will come clean.

When I first moved to MS, I was told Rankin County was the home to bootleggers and criminals for decades and the Pearl area was the worst.

I didn't have much reason to go there but did once to shop. My cell phone was stolen and fortunately ( or so I thought) AT&T pinpointed the location. I went to the police department and reported it and showed the information given me. The officer went with me to the location. A young guy answered the door and I hit my phone's number with my husband's phone that was in my pocket with my thumb on the button ready to push. You could hear my unique ring tone. I said, that's my phone ringing. The young guy heard the tone and said that's my friend's phone and closed the door. The police officer said, " I can't do anything". I said, " it's probable cause, let's go get a search warrant". He said it's not. I said " Do you really think that guy has an Ivy League fight song on his phone?" He said, " Maybe he's a fan". A fan of rowing? They did nothing and Madison county law enforcement said they didn't have jurisdiction. So, no, it's pretty hard for me not to worry that a lack of morals may be inherited.

Anonymous said...

@11:39 - What you are referring to when you mention bootleggers and criminals is the local lore about "The Gold Coast" from the prohibition era. It was located near Crystal Lake in what is now incorporated Flowood. It was also a place where the segregation laws were ignored.

Older JJ readers will remember he is a fanboy of this era and would regularly post "flashback" articles from the Clarion-Ledger/Jackson Daily News from that era.

The spot is directly on the Rankin side of the Pearl River. In once was an unincorporated area. This allowed the speakeasy's, bootleggers, and illegal gambling houses to operate directly outside of Jackson.

https://kingfish1935.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-year-gold-coast-committed-suicide.html

PS if you want to go searching through his archives, there was a recent (21st century) environmental scandal with a company called "Gold Coast" that is not to be confused with the wild Gold Coast from the early 20th Century.

7:39 here. I think that link I posted is especially interesting because it talks about the GOP as basically the backlash party, reacting to liberal victories in the culture wars.

It seems like every four years, during the presidential election cycle, we have a movement of left-leaning demonstrations that takes to the street, be it Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, or pro-Palestine bridge and campus takeovers, which winds up motivating Republican voters to the polls in a backlash.

If I was conspiracy minded, I would say it looks like a pattern, almost like an organization (or maybe a nation-state) stirs up unrest on the left via mass social media campaigns, to interfere in U.S. elections for president.

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.
