No privitization! Governemt can operate as efficiently as private business, it just takes someone with a will to make it happen. Luttrell doesn't have that. Otherwise, he wouldn't be outsourcing the feeding at the jail today.John Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813726125503692510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11589310.post-1130618131456084812005-10-29T15:35:00.000-05:002005-10-29T15:35:00.000-05:00If you are saying that an outside source such as C...If you are saying that an outside source such as CCA should come in and run the jail, you are very, very misguided.<BR/><BR/>A GOOD Corrections facility can do many things in-house.

Rumor has it they are going to put the correctional center under the Sheriff and look at cutting the feeding costs. They have wasted over 25 million over the last three years. Why now, why not three years ago? Follow the money!
