Got all those fancy guns and military vehicles parked down at the sheriff's office while inmates are housed in hazardous conditions. Good on this Sheriff
Imagine doing the right thing and treating humans like humans while considering the safety of inmates and officers? Such a bad guy 😂😂😂 how dare he care dammit!
I applaud the actions of this Sheriff. He's saving the taxpayers from lawsuits. It's not like the inmates have gone free. When you are in a position to hold inmates, you must care for them. Not all of them are convicted of a crime yet. Imagine getting thrown into that place on bogus charges only to have the case dismissed later– and you were innocent.
What is surprising to me with a background in administrative area of law enforcement is that this jail was even open in this era. Facilities like this are often brought into Federal Court with the result of the court shutting it down and forcing the county to build a new jail. Saw this happen from the 80’s into the 90’s.
Those three city council members who said that they 'need more information' DESPITE having toured that decrepit jail……are no doubt MAGA people. Probably also believe that The Earth is only 6,000 years old…..
The council voted Republican
The sheriff voted common sense
Good move
Breaking the pieces of porcelain oif it's not the weapon.They use it to sharpen the weapon
I have seen homeless camps in better shape. He is a good Sheriff!
Wow. You go, Gary!

Those three terrible white people run the town god help all the residents.
in 1973 I was a correctional specialist in the US Army. This would not have been acceptable. Good on him.
Give them a five star hotel 😂
Condemned place

Looks third world.
the man has pride in his job, thats it. you should hold people accountable.
Love how on literally day one he closes it. Shows what a great man he is. May that area prosper with a great Sheriff!
That's just plain awful. NO ONE should live in conditions like that. What a nightmare.
Who cares about the inmates?

Enjoy your Crime Rate!
Sheriff Blackwell is a credit to the badge and an honor to the force
Protect this man. 👍👍👍

When one lawsuit could cost millions, this is just good sense.
Good job, jailer!! 👏
Video title almost makes you think he's being a pr!ck, but then once you see why he's doing it… he's 100% correct👍🏻
So where did the money go?
Where is that? In a small (RURAL TOWN)? That is not a jail that place looks like it was built by a 14yrs old. LOL 😂😂
WOW THE STUPIDITY WE ARE ON….
Looks like some cold war era abandoned soviet detention center..
😳 Can anyone blame the inmates for trying to escape that deplorable situation. Absolutely disgusting
He clearly made the correct decision for both inmate and officer safety. No one should oppose this, regardless of your stance on police and crime.
Study it more? Hmmm……
Most of the jails I have been put in for refusing to pay their petty crimes are exactly the same or worse.
I love that sheriff
Good job sir

Wow, good for him.
Yikes that place looks terrible
It's too bad all our cities and towns are broke and addicted to debt, yet we send billions overseas to Ukraine and Israel.
