BTW, If you think prison is a holiday camp, then you obviously have never visited one.
Also, it should be well noted that most of the folks in that sherriff's jail are not yet convicted and, while they are in lock-up prior to trial, entitled to the presumption of innocence in the meanwhile. Presumption of innocence is one of the good things we Americans gained from the Brits. Much better than the French system. Or perhaps you would favor going back to thumbscrews and the rack as evidence-gathering techniques?
In any case, suggest you do a bit of research on this sheriff, as I did. Let's not forget that Herr Hitler was also very tough on some folks and very popular as well - until folks came to their senses.

probably cos too many people complaining about his methods instead of getting behind him and following his example and the cons know it
people who cause harm to others in whatever way do not deserve to be classed as human beings and as such waiver their "human"rights
they are there to be punishe3d not for a bleedin holiday
