Yes Minden and Webster Parish have some very cruel guards and so-called officers of the Law on their force.I know one guy that got one of his eyes beat out of the socket by the force and their claim is he fell on a rearend axle out of a car.

Two of my family members were victims in 1999 and 2000.The 2000 case my family won as the law suit filed.It took 5 years but they won and their lawyer is on stand by in case they are victims again.

It that bad in Beinville parish to, they let people have heat strokes because they have NO air condition and its hot as hell in there..They let my brother have a heat stroke that ended in having to have a pacemaker @ the age of 38.Plus they falsely arrested he in his own yard for having a illegal switch blade that was a two ince pocket knife he was using to cut weed eater string with.After taken him to jail and letting him almost die they dropped charges on him because he wasnt doing anything illegal...Imagine that
Something needs to be done in these parishes they cant keep making up their own laws!!!

[Stupid]

Quit getting arrested then you want go to jail. Its like that saying you cant fix stupid.

If Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center is so bad then why is it called the "country club jail"? Why are there state inmates trying to finish their time there? Just some questions for you. "Stupid" is right, stop getting arrested and you won't have to worry about it.

Than let the ones who are about to get out. OUT! Than you will have room for your State Inmates.
Instead you frame them or set them up to get more time.

+The inmates are fed as little as possible, just enough to keep them alive. Example, one day was a slice of bologna, a slice of bread and water. The inmates are also afraid to take parole because the parole officers spend their time trying to catch them doing anything wrong, example being close to a knife. It is a money game. They pay certain attorney's (local) get probation and they are sent back over and over for some small infraction and here goes the money thing again. They will end up spending more time in prison by being paroled. Many are prefering to do their time. Many inmates are there that don't deserve to be there, quiet cop. It's all a political and money game.

Who do we need to contract to turn some of these guys in? I know of at least two work release who had only a month to go and got wrote up on some stupid offense. I see what is going on and it is not right by no means.

Maybe if these inmates put in as much time studying or trying to learn a trade as they did trying to be a gangster or break the laws, they wouldn't be in there in the first place. Jail is not a place where you live in the lap of luxery. It is a place you are sent to be "PUNISHED" for a crime you committed! If these people want 3 meals a day and air conditioning......do like the rest of the world and get a J-O-B!!!!

People make mistakes but do they have to pay for it the rest of their life. NO!
They were doing their time. Some guards are going out of the way to look for reasons to keep inmates in. Where the prisons can collect money from them being in there. That is what is happening.
