Security Issues at Moon Valley County Jail
Faremount. Sheriff Gephardt has beefed up his security at the Moon Valley County Jail due to security concerns of recent court house attacks in bigger counties.
"We are constantly changing things around here to improve security for the jail and courthouse." Gephardt stated, "I'm not exactly sure what we're doing, but my Jail Administrator assures me that it's getting done."
The R.A.G. Files staff caught up with Jail Adminstrator Sparky Gerdles. When asked, he froze up like a deer in headlights and pissed himself.
Assistant Jail Adminstrator, Tonya Skowl, was found in the Sheriff's office under his desk and she gave comments on the new procedures.
"Well, nothing's really that new." she started, wiping her mouth, "We've just improved on what we already have in place. The key here is inconsistency. We sometimes allow inmates into the jail without a proper pat search or strip search, and sometimes we really clean out their corn shutes! Depends on who's working. Yeh, every once in awhile we get a knife or two in here, or someone sneeks a joint in here, but with some creative report writing, everything looks good when it comes to D.O.C. inspections.
"We've also stopped our jail staff from fraternizing with each other. There's just no safety in that. Getting romantically involved with your co-workers just doesn't make for a safe jail."
Just then, her husband, Haystack Skowl, a jailer who works under her, came up to her with a bucket of chicken.
"Thanks, honey," she replied kissing him on the cheek, "now go pick up my son at daycare and have supper ready for me at home."
Just then, Sheriff Gephardt called out to her from his office, "Uh, Tonya, the blue pill kicked in, how 'bout that 'oral' interview now?"
