This is a 2015 email from a friend in Greene County:
“For years, Greene County had an overcrowding problem. The long-time Sheriff played upon decertification, for-pay prisoners, and insurance against lawsuits, in his unrelenting, but unsuccessful, pursuit for a new jail complex.
I sent out a brief study nine months before the last election, a challenger was elected, and the overcrowding went away shortly after the election.”
