The stench of justice

Here's a Hurricane Ike tidbit from the Harris County courthouse that wasn't widely reported, from Life at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center:

After Ike came through over the weekend, one of the biggest problems it created within the Harris County Criminal Justice Center was a back up of raw sewage that pretty much permeated the first floor of the building. Trust me on this one, folks -- it was freaking NASTY!

This report comes as part of a longer post criticizing Harris County for forcing the DA's office secretarial pool to dip into vacation time to fix up their homes after the storm passed. AHCL has been providing regular updates on the process of getting the Harris County Courthouse up and running last week.
