Caddo Parish Sheriff wants to keep"good" inmates locked up for free labor

A sheriff in Louisiana has been railing against the state’s new prisoner release program, saying many of those “good” inmates need to stay behind bars for the free labor they provide.
Last week, Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator blasted the state’s Justice Reinvestment Package, a series of bills passed in June that could reduce Louisiana’s prison population by 10 percent and save more than $260 million over the next decade by slowly releasing nonviolent offenders. The legislation is set to go into effect on Nov. 1 and would authorize the early release of 1,400 prisoners across 21 parishes in the state.
Just 35 prisoners would be immediately released in Caddo Parish, but that seems to be too many for Prator, who said the state needs them to “wash cars.”
“In addition to the bad ones ... they’re releasing some good ones that we use every day to wash cars, to change oil in the cars, to cook in the kitchen, to do all that where we save money,” he continued. “Well, they’re going to let them out ? the ones that we use in work release programs.”

Really expect more out of Texas law enforcement.

This just shows you the problem with the system, especially in Louisiana
Posted on 10/12/17 at 10:26 pm to CCTider
Yeah. Once you are behind bars you are nothing but an animal to these people.

Good ole Steve Prator. He runs that parish like his own little kingdom.

I doubt he cares what color his inmates are. Sheriffs in general want their jail beds full and that's no secret. I've never heard a sheriff dumb enough to publicly claim he wants that free labor though. Free labor is not what jail is intended for.

It all starts at the crony judge level.

Probably so. But the sheriff isn't singling it black people. He's fine with having a diverse slave labor force.

Sounds like he is the one that needs to stay behind bars for the rest of his life to me

Poster boy for what is making Colin Kapernick take a knee... This is a prime example of institutional racism (or even classism), and if you can't see it, you're blind.

You under the impression that this is singling out black folk?

No, that's why I included classism in parentheses.

You under the impression that governments and institutions only wrongfully imprison and subjugate black folks?
You under the impression that protesters only protest black folks being wrongfully mistreated?
