If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
The county prison here must be pretty nice (it is fairly new). It must be so nice, that it causes criminals who were released from there to want to go back. Or something like that. To quote the story:
Jodie Lynn Ackerman, 24, was being held for trial on unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and criminal trespass when she and two fellow inmates were released around 9:30 p.m. last Wednesday after the 28-bed women?s portion of the 228-bed jail reached capacity.
Late Saturday night, Ackerman was booked back into the jail on charges of second-degree theft, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, first-degree criminal mischief and a probation violation, the latter charge bringing a no-bail ?hold? pending her initial court appearance Monday.
Sadly, I'm sure we'll see more releases like, and I'm sure this won't be the first person with short-term freedom.
