This story absolutely infuriates me. I wish we could get the names of that deputy and social worker, and make their lives as miserable as they deserve for them to be (the "Amy Coopers of the world" the author calls them) but really, it's the system that's rotten and needs to change.
Another maddening story of white people acting like assholes!
I had a similar experience in 2011 . I had retired in North Carolina in 2007 and went back to Ohio to help a disabled Favorite Uncle . I bought a building in a small town 25 minutes away from Columbus, Ohio in a Shithole Town. Wellston, Ohio . That was my violation, I bought property that a good old boy wanted . It took them almost 3 years ( because I do not drink, do drugs or stupid shit . My Violation, I owned 3 beautiful Dogs, My building was broken into, the dogs taken for almost a Year and a half, the next day I was arrested ( dogs off a leash, they weren't, they were in the building ) . I.was moved 4 counties away to Columbus and Jailed for 5 Months ( I was also beaten by the Now Sheriff and 3 others on tape ) but I was the one jailed . I was kept in jail while they tried to get me to plead to fake charges . During this time my building was broken into ( with help FROM THE PLOICE ) . My tools, Computers, and Vehicles ( Two Pickup Trucks, Comercial Dump Truck, Dozer, Two Trailers, Skid Steer Loaders, a Jeep, and 2 Cars ( One a Mercedes ) . This began a 3 Year Leagal Battle which I lost when my crooked lawyer walked away from my case . All of the above I lost and more . I ended up moving back to North Carolina and left the building and all . But when You have Retired is not the time to lose $150,000 . I can only imagine had I been Black and had I not had a College Education . UNTIL YOU GET INTO THIS CROOKED ASSED "JUSTICE SYSTEM" you have no idea how corrupt and crooked it truly is . These things are not that rare in Jackson County Ohio, or as it turns out the rest of the Country . THIS ENTIRE CROOKED ASSED SYSTEM MUST BE TORN DOWN !
what a tragic story. All the more tragic because it is not an isolated case. I dislike the privatisation of prisons (and nursng homes too for the matter). Government run institutions don't have to run at a profit and there is usually more accountability. USA has more prisons per capita because they are a profit making enterprise. No one should be in jail unless they are a danger to the community. There are other ways to punish or rehabilitate. No one should be in jail for unpaid fines, drugs and many other misdemeanours (ooooooo that's my name )
Horrible have seen it
@altschmerz yes medical in prison some were my patients
