And you wonder why Law Enforcement gets discouraged. It comes down to; tax payers don't want to pay for larger jails or prisons and more corrections officers, so the offenders have to go somewhere. He took a deferral on the case, so if he commits a crime with in the period of the deferral he has to serve the rest of his sentence, in theory.

The poor kid had to spend two whole days in the Hamilton County Jail, isn't that enough? It is after all, such a rough place. He probably missed out on his church retreat because of that.
<<< Used to work at that jail and remember having to house inmates on the floor of the recreation yard due to overcrowding. 75 inmates or so strewn around on the ground without assigned bunks was a joy to do head counts and any other necessary duties. During that time, we were ordered to release 10 or so inmates per night that were deemed "non-violent and non-flight risks" (usually drug related crimes) due to the amount of traffic that was coming through. You should have seen the looks on their faces when they were released. I wrote my thesis on "the system" and have worked in some aspect of corrections in Oregon, Florida and Indiana. There is a reason I no longer do that.
