Slow News Day In Kansas

It must be a slow news day in Kansas. The Sedgewick County Easter Bunny......that is, sheriff.....Jeff Easter, decided that it was time to ration toilet paper for the inmates in his jail, and the inmates wrote to Chris Fisher, of the Wichita Eagle, to complain that this amounts to cruel and unusual punishment! So Fisher apparently took the picture to the left, outside of the detention center, (an Easter egg hunt, a la Jeff Easter?) and wrote the story!

In addition to saving Sedgewick County lots and lots of money, Easter Bunny Jeff Easter said that inmates somehow use toilet paper to mask the smell of tobacco and marijuana in their cells. Not the smell of anything else....just tobacco and marijuana! The question that is not answered here is this: how are people in jail getting marijuana without the help of the Easter Bunny?

 

Texas Jailbreak Incident

 

It seems that two jail inmates have somehow become transported away from jail to an unknown location.....or.....escaped. Brian Tucker and John King have both disappeared from Hopkins County Jail in Sulpher Springs, Texas, as of this morning. They were being held on some rather serious charges, but how did they escape in the first place? If I were a defense attorney in Texas, I might be tempted to represent both of them pro bono, just for amusement, and remind the court that we cannot be one hundred percent sure that corrections officers did not remove the men from the facility against their will and abandon them in a randomly selected location, just to trump phony escape charges, terrorize the community using SWAT gear, and fly the helicopters.
