The Intense Out Of Control Conditions Of Jails & Prisons

The out of control intense inhumane conditions of many parish & county jails as well as some state prisons did not get this way over night but over time by social causes just as all crime has social causes which are not always recognizable to everyone.

Any problem that has evolved over time due to lack of social conscience & social justice requires social solutions.

However social solutions should not always require a popular election or vote in all platforms nor is it safe to have only one person responsible for appointing positions that have traditionally been elected by popular vote or appointed by a mayor who is elected by popular vote...

Because popular vote means simply that a person is simply better liked than the opponent who ran against the one who won and is in office.

Yet often no candidate has the experience and qualifications to administer and accomplish the required daily tasks of the position or job which he or she runs for and wins.

More Reason Why Sheriffs Cannot Be Elected By Popular Vote



Article from The Economist online


More problems caused by the fact incompetent people are elected by popular vote and why sheriffs need to be appointed by a panel or board of qualified persons of each state headed by the Secretary & Assistant Secretary of each State.

Popular vote simply means that the majority likes a person more than another persons personality which has no bearing on that person's credentials or ability to do the job he or she is being elected to.
