There appears to be NO HEAT IN THE NEW BAY COUNTY JAIL.
The prisoners are freezing in this freezing temperature we are experiencing now.
The prisoners do not have enough clothing to keep them warm.
They do have a blanket but are not allowed to use it from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm.
THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE A HOT MEAL DURING THE FREEZING DAY.
THEY ARE GIVEN A BALONEY OR PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH.

There are not enough pillows to give one to all of the prisoners but they are issued a pillowcase!
They are not allowed to wrap a towel around a book and put it into the pillowcase to rest their heads.
It is considered contraband when they do that.
They are not informed of that when they are given the pillowcase however.
Apparently, the pillowcase is only for use as a commissary bag.
If they have money to buy food, they can carry it in their pillowcase.

MANY OF THESE PRISONERS HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN CONVICTED OF ANYTHING YET!
SOME OF THE CONVICTED ARE ONLY THERE ON SPEEDING OR TRAFFIC OFFENSES.

HUMAN RIGHTS SHOULD EXTEND TO BAY COUNTY.
WE ARE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I hope the jury understands the fine line between insanity and stupidity. The office is split 50/50 with he’s nuts or just an idiot.

He should have bailed out over the Gulf of Mexico. He could have had a small boat waiting at the parachute point. That would have given him plenty of time to get away. His obviously impulsive lifestyle precluded sufficient thought to pull off a successful ruse. Great blog, BTW.

Proves that there’s a disconnect between the face we present to the world and the ‘real’ us for lots of people. He was young, handsome, and, by current standards, had ‘everything’. Sad, sad.

minus the place to hunt and add a daughter (car payment still) and we are two peas in a pod. I am happy with my simpler way of life. It seems the more toys and such you have the more you have to lose. I see a lot that are much better off than me but there are also a lot worse off than me. I am very happy to just be where I am.

I really don’t care that this clown faked his own death. What bothers me is his disregard for other lives. He bailed out of an perfectly good airplane with no regard as to what damage to live and our enviornment he would cause.

What a clown.
