        This is the hypocrisy of the correctional system... whilst they imprison people for smoking marijuana

        Just because it's the law, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. We should all remember this in those times when we're tempted to allow ourselves to be defined politically.

        Well if it's legal or if you get away with it then it's okay as long as you're a Republican.

        The @etowahcounty Sheriff also appears to look like he has been eating most of the food that should have been going to the Jail Inmates, in addition to taking the funds for food. This Sheriff is just another reason that the taxpayers are losing their trust in Law Enforcement.

        Confiscate all of the Alabama Sheriff assets, though him out of office and immediately into prison. Exactly what we need to do with tRump! #ImpeachTrumpNow #LockThemAllUp #Prison4Trump #GOPTaxScam #Resistance
