Hall gem made me think about bologna sandwiches in the Travis County Jail. After being arrested for speeding while ‘sitting at a red light’, the narrator discovers the pleasures of what can only be small southern town 60s or 70s justice:

Authorities released security video Thursday of former University of Texas running back Cedric Benson at the Travis County Jail.

Authorities released Jason Liao, the student arrested on charges of carrying a gun on campus, from the Travis County Jail after he posted bail Saturday.

'High time' to remove 'illegals' I simply don't understand it. In the March 19 article "Workers' rights group pickets Travis County Jail," the protesters carried a sign extolling and seeking the virtues of "dignity, justice and equality." What is dignified about violating a nation's sovereignty?

What is just about Americans who are forced out of jobs because companies can pay illegals less and reduce their overhead?

And equality - well, I wonder sometimes myself where this one has gone.

Protesters carried a large banner demanding "dignity, justice and equality" during a demonstration supporting immigrant rights Tuesday in front of the Travis County Jail.

The Sheriff’s Office publishes a list of everyone booked into the Travis County Jail, and I’ve been watching it over the last week or so to keep track of the new policy of housing Immigration (ICE) in the jail. The numbers of folks listed under ‘INS Detainer’ has certainly increased exponentially.

But today I noticed that there were over thirty arrests for prostitution this weekend, and while I don’t look at the list regularly, much less keep detailed statistics,  I’m pretty sure that means there was a john sting operation.

Putting immigration agents in Travis County Jail leads to overcrowding and unconstitutional "surname profiling" (via Grits for Breakfast)
