Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Obviously this wasn't in Sheriff Dan Rhodes's county.

New Texas sheriff closes jail amid FBI probe | Top Stories | Star-Telegram.com: "Jack McGaughey, district attorney for Montague, Clay and Archer counties, declined to say what prompted the investigation, also being conducted by the Texas Rangers. But he said authorities found contraband in the Montague County Jail.

He also said some surveillance cameras' cords had been disconnected; recliners were in cells; some bathrooms and cells could be locked from the inside; and inmates had made partitions out of paper towels to block jailers' view inside their cells. One alarming discovery was a type of rack made of nails, he said."
