We just don't see jailers go to court - my youngest was a ajailer for over 5 years. He finally got tired of all the BS in a big county jail and is out of the field now. Both my son and DIL started thier careers at the jail. They moved on to street cop but not once has any of them been to court for something so wierd. My youngest worked booking and even had an inmate escape on him but he didn't go to court....... his boss did. His boss was of course a certified officer was the shift sgt at the time. Now my son was the one that bore the responsibility (it didn't end his career) but they don't historically drag lil jailers to court.

Down here you get a phone call after your brought in........ there's a phone you can use in booking. I have even seen them use the phone more than once.......... but no one dials for ya.

I know ya'lls jail is real backwards....... actually was gonna help them open up a medical unit there once. Had a local MD that agreed to be Medical Director and all. Problem was there of course is no policy / proceedure written to cover a med unit at the jail and ya need to go by the state jail standards. Went for interview with a panel and coulda went to work then but didnt' feel $13 an hour was fair pay for my experience as a jail nurse and certainly not enoug for my yrs in nursing to put together a medical program for them........... Typical Ford county.......... wantin something for nothing........ They passed when I came back with a counter offer. I bet that's the closest Ford Co has been to having a Medical unit............ They still amaze me to this day!!.......... but I'm sure they follow guidelines when they know what they are............. OR....... according to this........ maybe not.
