Tour Of Wesley St Jail for Jackson Co Jail and Millage Proposal

[@larryterrill7302]

On another note. The Chanter rd. Jail has its own problems. I got called in one early morning at 3 am because they couldn't unlock an isolation cell at that facility. Turned out an inmate had put a staple in the lock and rendered it unusable. We had to remove the door from the hinges and the isolation cell was down several hours until we could clear the lock

First I'd like to say that I worked maintenance in the jail from 2007 to 2014. There was no training for working in a correction facility given to anyone that had to work in that environment. The problems shown in this video were problems then and haven't been addressed. Mostly because Herman Scheele tried to play superman and make himself look good as the County Facilities manager. You can't expect people with no corrections background to maintain an antiquated facility and keep it safe for staff and inmates.

I can guarantee that the County Administrator Mike Overton has never spent more than a 1/2 hour in this building. It probably one of the most important buildings under his regime. If he took a close look he would realize the potential for a huge lawsuit from a corrections officer,inmate or Facilities worker in this building because of the safety issues that the Sheriff has pointed out!

[@larryterrill7302]

The Sheriff just inherited problems that were going on way before he took office. You can thank you're County commission and the previous Facilities manager.

There are hundreds of empty cells at 4000 Cooper Street.

The place was bad in 2000 and not any better in 2015 its not a fun time but dont do the crime and you don't do the time its a jail not a country club

At least they allowed this facility to be toured in this state. At least transparency is there.

[@Travis-cr6lq]

They house people in a condemned jail 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
