I wish we could do this in Baltimore; send them to D.C.

Those responsible should be criminally prosecuted.

[Marshall Bennett]

At least they knew where to send them. :bang:

There was an article in the Reno paper a couple of months ago about this. I guess criminal charges are being looked into.

There was a (distantly related) followup story about how the prison system does stuff like this as well. The best part of THAT story was how they sent a guy from Montana (I think) to a SoCal prison by bus (amazingly) BY HIMSELF. Apparently, when the bus got to Las Vegas he decided to make a run for it and has not been seen since.

The prison system said that it was just not cost-effective to send a law-enforcement officer with the prisoner during the transfer.

Prosecuted for what, cleaning up their city?

When I was a cop in SoCal in early eighties the homeless would get "turfed" from one county line to another on a regular basis. It was a war........the bombs were homeless guys.......

Some of them liked it. The cops would normally give them a few bucks at the end of the ride

We did it in Ohio too......
