The Harris County jail here in Houston is under fire, for years their staff - which is comprised of a bunch of wanna-be good ol' boys (even the black deputies there act like total rednecks) - did as they pleased and swept everything under the rug. I've worked with a few jailers from there in the past, they'd boast of thumping on inmates for kicks, stripping people naked and forcing them to stand in front of other inmates, withholding food...just crap you'd expect from some warped kids yet these were grown men in positions of "power". I'm not against the cops in most instances, but county jails house a fair amount of people who are awaiting trial and have yet to be convicted and creating an environment where goons like this can do as they please and live out their warped fantasies needs to be stopped.
Deterrius Terry Rashad Goodwin, a man with mental issues, was found confined to a cell at Harris County jail.
Investigators say that cell was filled with feces and infested with bugs while deputies and jailers went on about their business.
Sheriff Adrian Garcia says, "the investigation indicated that problems were reported to supervisors and ultimately supervisors failed to act and to take immediate corrective actions."
As a result of an internal investigation 6 jail employees were fired, 29 were suspended, a Chief Deputy resigned, a Major over housing at the Harris County jail was demoted.
The terminations include two sergeants being indicted criminally earlier this year for falsifying documents claiming they inspected Goodwin's filthy cell.
"When employees fail to take action when it results conditions that no inmate should be subjected to then this discipline is called for," says Garcia.
There are also major changes in the jail including several new programs the Sheriff has put in place to insure no mentally ill inmates are living in a cell filled with feces

Recognize that the strongest parts of law are the 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th Amendments. They take people out from under government and into common law where man is king, not government. Listen to the above referenced audios to see what I mean.
Do you have a friend or relative in prison awaiting trial? They are your property. Open a court case (where you dictate the terms and rules of court, not the "judge") requiring the people who are holding your property to give it back. Get them out of jail this way. Listen to the above referenced audios to see how to do it.
