This happened after her little friend at school told her if there is someone you don't all you have to do is tell the police they touched you and the police will remove them. So he has been in the county since last may and been attacked by a bigger inmate and ended up in Ben Taub hospital. When I found out they tried to tell me he had acid reflux. I'm not stupid I knew it was not acid reflux but ther is nothing you can do about these things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-20880686265682198942017-02-03T16:48:32.054-06:002017-02-03T16:48:32.054-06:00What do you expect when the Courts, Attorney's...What do you expect when the Courts, Attorney's,Bail Bondsmen, and police work together against the people.

There are risk assessments available that will help keep the truly dangerous in jail, and allow the low risk offenders the opportunity to keep their jobs, feed their families, etc. However, expect a fight from those who make money off the current system.
