Sheriff
I do not know too much about the challenger in the Sheriff's race, but I do know that the county's holding center is messed up. The state and federal governments are suing the county for access. There are tales of people not having access to basic necessities such as toilet paper and toothpaste. There have been allegations of abuse.
Not that anybody deserves this treatment, but keep in mind that this is the HOLDING CENTER. YOU could find yourself there, even if you have not been convicted. There is no excuse to mistreat a prisoner, but it is even worse when a person has not even had a trial.
I am rarely political online, but this is a human rights issue. Vote today.

And I guess I'll see if I can go and vote tonight. I am disturbed by the situation with the holding center.
(e:drew) is so right in pointing out that a lot of people in the holding center are just there waiting trial.
