ONE SOLUTION TO JAIL OVERCROWDING
In regard to "Jail issues divide commission" (April 2), this is an
issue that has really began to work my nerves.
It is ridiculous that the county pays, or should I say waste,
$500,000 a month, to Butler County to house inmates, due to
overcrowding. Furthermore, if Cincinnati police, along with Hamilton
County Sheriff Simon Leis and his deputy dog sheriffs, would only
ticket, and not lock up anybody for every minor violation (30 days
incarceration for a marijuana joint), maybe the jails would not be overcrowded.
