>>>Senior Superior Court Judge Philip Etheridge said it was "absolutely ludicrous" that the sheriff's office would allow an armed deputy to be alone in a holding cell with a prisoner known to be a high security risk.>>>

Let's not be PC here. Alone with a FEMALE deputy. I am a woman, I can do most things men can. I cannot overpower a very large man alone. Idiots.

Why didn't they shakle and handcuff the prisoner, known to be violent?

That and keeping weapons away from him shouldn't have been very difficult.

But I bet there was more bleeding heart logic at work, that they didn't want to "prejudice" the jury, by showing the defendent in shakles and handcuffs.

He said the office needs to develop physical fitness standards because some deputies aren't in good enough shape or are too small in stature to safely handle prisoners in a fight.

They can't do that AND meet judge-imposed gender quotas.

Rambo said deputies transporting prisoners should go in pairs

Then fork over the money to hire twice as many deputies as are currently on the payroll.

The media wrings its hands about a gun in the hands of a strong young man against a small old women. The issue should be simply "What was a small old women doing guarding a strong young man known to be violent against women and illegally attracted to other people's guns?"
