Lemons’ relatives said Wednesday that they still don't know why she didn't get medical help sooner.
Because CO's don't listen to inmates; everyone's got something to complain about. Liabilty of some sort probably plays a part also.
Is that lesbian still the sheriff of Dallas County? Maybe the inmate wasn't friendly enough with the sheriff?
Here in Nueces County, we had a scandal two years ago when the federal government decertified the Nueces County Jail and removed all federal prisoners from custody inside it. This cost the county millions of dollars in lost revenues from housing federal prisoners and costs to remediate the deficiencies. The funny thing is that the sheriff under whose watch the conditions deteriorated had resigned in mid term to run for Nueces County Judge, and the temporary acting sheriff was running for the remaining two years of the term. On election day 2006 while Republicans were getting slaughtered nationally, Nueces County, Texas Republicans were able to pick up both positions (County Judge and Sheriff) for the first time since the Reconstruction. The new Republican sheriff has reformed the operation of the jail, and federal prisoners are again housed there. He cracked down on delays in processing bail, so prisoners are released within just a few hours rather than days after judges set bail.
This incident at the Dallas County Jail should be used by Republicans to oust the incompetent DemocRAT sheriff and to regain control of Dallas County on election day 2008.
