Did you watch the news? It was on channel 18 news. They were their filming it. The inmates had been using different cleaners and after laundering them, placed them in a milk crate. ALL inmates were asleep when the fire started in those rags. All inmates were evacuated safely, the milk crate was thrown outside when the doors opened for them to exit the building. The fire was extinguished and the building aired out, then cleared for re-entry by fire dept, and all inmates were taken back in. The Department of Corrections came the next day and inspected, said it was spontaneous combustion occurred in the milk crate from the rags, and that the staff on duty that night had done an excellent job in the way they handled the situation. That the correct procedures were followed. They viewed the tapes from the jail and were impressed on how the staff handled the whole incident. End of story. Have a nice day, take care and God Bless.

Were you there? Some people really are vicious, who is stupid enough to start a fire, with them in the building, and hope that the fire alarm works properly, so someone will open the door and get them out. The cameras showed All inmates had been asleep for over an hour when it started. Do you honestly think someone would lay down and go to sleep if they knew the building was about to go up in flames. People, why don't you acquire some common sense. I really don't understand every bodies gripe with the jail employees. They are doing a job, if you actually have a job, you should understand, people need to work for a living. That just happens to be their chosen profession, just as your job is what you choose to get up and go to everyday. Have a nice day, take care and God Bless.

I never said they were saints, if they were they wouldn't be inmates. In case you haven't noticed I've not been on here very much lately, but I will say this, if I want to make a comment on each and every post on here, it is none of your business. Take care and God Bless.

I never called anyone stupid, reread what I wrote, I said they wouldn't be stupid enough, not that they were stupid. I'm no hypocrite, I sincerely wish for God to Bless each and everyone I speak to on here. I have never gotten on here and claimed to be a bible thumping Christian, just someone who tries to put a positive perspective on here, to hopefully put a stop to people being so vicious. The world needs a lot more positive attitude toward each other, more kindness, consideration of others feelings, and for people to reach out a helping hand to someone who is down and needs a lift up. If my saying these things bothers you, maybe you need to do some deep soul searching of your own, and figure out why it bothers you. I'm all for positive, not negative. Have a nice day, take care, and God Bless.

Hey genius. Do you know how many times inmates have started fires at jails and prisons? I heard from someone on the inside that it wasn't no damn accident. Where did you get your information from? The news? Good for you, they know everything, don't they?

No, I didn't get my information from the news or from topix's either. Mine came first hand from the deputy jailer that was on duty in the RCC building when it happened. He also had to go in and talk to DOC the next day, the DOC and fire Marshall both said it was spontaneous combustion from the chemicals on the rags. No, I also don't know everything, if I did I would choose another venue besides topix's to enlighten others about my genius. I'm just an ordinary, everyday, wife, mother and grandmother, who has an opinion, the same as you, I make no claims to be right all the time, just giving my opinion. I was under the impression that is what these forums are for. I have never gotten on here and called anyone names (except eagle eye and I've already made my apologies to him,) yet everyone wants to ASSUME that I think my opinions are the only right ones, and so they get on here and call me names. I never said anyone was stupid, I said no one would be stupid enough to start a fire and then lay down and go to sleep. I'm not the brightest star in the sky, but just because I have an opinion, that is different from someone elses does not give others the right to call names. The question was asked about what happened and I answered to the best of my ability, with what knowledge I had to offer on the question. That doesn't make what I told a lie, just what I knew about it, it doesn't make you a liar, because you stated what you knew. None of us were there, and know first hand, we are all only telling what information has been given to us. Have a nice day, take care and God Bless.

I also agree, that the inmates have been trying to burn the place down forever. I'm also not saying they didn't start it, only what the DOC and fire marshal said was the cause. All the inmates were evacuated without any injuries, and anyone who has someone they love in their, I'm sure they are glad that their loved one got out safely. The incident is over, so why harp on it. No one was hurt, no inmates escaped, the building didn't burn to the ground, enough said. Take care and God Bless.

Hey there peeps ,one thing for sure is that no-one was hurt in the confusion ...There is something though i want to say ,,,i think there should be a seperate room with air vents for the ones that smoke.I for one have quit smoking and believe me it was hard to do but i did it but there are those with nervous disorders that smoke and not being allowed to smoke makes their condition worse or are they given medicene to help that ???? That is what i thought about when i heard about that fire ,,i figured someone was smoking ,now i know that is not so....But they do need a room just for that purpose.

If you want to give your "opinion", don't call someone else vicious and pretty much say they're wrong because they heard something different than you did. So, when you do that, it does sound like you think you're right. And really, spontaneous combustion? Yeah, okay.
well

I have also been called a liar by Maggie Mae because her opinions/experiences were different from mine. I don't wanna argue with her, believe that, but that's what this forum is for. To express our opinions. If she's got inside information (and we all know she should have plenty), then listen to what she says. But Maggie, like the others said, they have inmate relatives who also have good gossip as well. So let's take the gloves off and let the best wo-MAN win.

Daily Horoscope for December 3

Cancer

Take it easy today, or the most insignificant things will get you down in no time. A difficult letter in the post, or a tricky conversation with a loved one, will sink your spirits down to your ankles. Ugh. Life is not as tough as it seems right now, so keep reminding yourself that we can choose to feel better. A bar of delicious chocolate, or a tasty savoury snack might help a little, too...
