The judge and prosecutor had asked for more protection and this is what they got?
A female deputy alone in a room that is supposed to be monitored via video but in fact was not?
What was the security before the sheriff's office beefed up? Someone in a wheelchair and a frying pan?
On CNN last night they said it was Nichols 10th trip through that changing room so he knew the procedure very well.
And good point about a woman alone while a man is changing.
In our jail - this would never have happened. Our Sheriff was a stickler on this stuff. But .. the PC idiots today think a woman should be allowed to do any job. I'm fine with that - but she needs to be qualified.
Because of my slight build, I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO LODGE PRISONERS WHO WERE MALE - WE HAD PLENTY OF MALE OFFICERS TO DO THAT. But even when I lodged females, we didn't have a camera monitoring system (old jail), so an officer with a weapon was stationed outside the door of the room and the door was ajar so he could hear what was going on.
I can only remember one time when I had 3 females, and one prisoner amped up her voice to me and the male officer was in the room immediately - with the strap holding his weapon undone - and his hand on his weapon [I was unarmed]. Since the females had already been checked - he remained in the room with me and we lodged them into the cells together. THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE - not leaving some person alone with prisoner.
That Sheriff - if elected - should be RECALLED or IMPEACHED for dereliction of duty.
