Even after the fact.
There was a time when one sentenced to prison would do all in their power to avoid a return visit. It was actually punishment for breaking the law. Now the only suffering is confinement, as cable TV and climate control is provided at no cost, other than to law abiding tax payers.
run like a chicken
The last guy yall posted that ran from police got some serious time… Lets just hope he learns a trade other than dealing while in jail
I remember when this was a nice quite community.
People make the community; what it is.
