Ultimately Frank White is atop the org chart, the one most responsible for running this jail or a new one. He seems to be evading that responsibility by not holding the jail managers accountable.

You say Frank supports a new jail. As a voter I can't support one, even though it's painfully obvious one is needed, because Frank White seems intent on keeping the same damn administrators in charge. A new jail with the same old people in charge is just going to lead to the same old problems, just in a brand new setting.<br /><br />How can Frank White possibly have complete confidence in these jail managers? I think Crystal Williams is kind of nuts, but in this case she's the sane one, and Frank is completely crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-36595683452211646212017-11-28T21:03:40.041-06:002017-11-28T21:03:40.041-06:00I keep hearing Frank White is such a nice guy.

Also, the problem just isn't a matter of making a few repairs to the building. The problem is how piss-poor managed the jail is by the the fucking team Frank White still somehow has "complete confidence in." HOW THE FUCK DID IT TAKE 8 FUCKING MINUTES TO GET THE GUARD ATTACKED LAST WEEK HELP?<br /><br />And this happened after Legislators, the Sheriff and Prosecutor had been warning Frank for weeks and months now that somebody was going to get critically hurt or killed in that jail.<br /><br />I hope you all rot in hell!

He also sought a critical pay raise for officers that the Legislature postponed until January. Frank White didn’t create any of this situation.

It’s not the staff, it’s not the administration, it’s the inmates. Frank isn’t opposed to a new jail. He’s just asking that an informed decision be made about the size of the jail. More beds equals more people incarcerated for non-violent felonies and those additional inmates will most certainly be disproportionately people from communities of color.
