The story of a system given a monopoly on force continues. Power is an attractant to all sorts of vermin. Corruption, sexual assault, coercion, theft, and bribery always follows power.
The state must create a façade of legitimacy and trust to cover the inherent problems that come with a monopoly on force.
This is what “We” call a civilized society where a mafia masquerades as a benevolent protector of Liberty.
Read the Hill-Finklea Detention Center mission statement. If Avery Richard Smith is convicted of the charges, all of the women detainees ought to be released, no matter what they are in for. And financially compensated. Disgusting.
The pendulum should not swing that far in the other direction. Would you release Susan Smith if she had been sexually-assaulted by Avery Richard Smith?
The immediate answers are to COMPLETELY separate punitive detentions for minor misdemeanors from pre-trial detentions of the presumed-innocent BUT possibly-guilty.
Also, there is no constitutional basis for counties (which are not sovereigns) to own or operate any incarceration facility. That fearsome power should belong to the ONLY TWO constitutionally-recognized sovereigns: the federal government and the state government.
The pendulum should not swing that far in the other direction. Would you release Susan Smith if she had hypothetically been assaulted by Avery Richard Smith?
Put these ex-law enforcement officers accused of sexual assault in amongst the general prison population in the state, and they will find out what assault is all about.
