New Reality Show: Escape from Sheffield

 

Another inmate has simply walked away from the Sheffield city jail. Perhaps we should look on the upside that the city inmates are not being held for serious felonies. Still we have to ask: Jailers, are you paying attention?

Sheffield? Just last week this blog had a much graver complaint against the city and other local authorities. How seriously do local police take domestic violence?

Yes, we know that abused women frequently return to their abusers. Should that dictate a lower standard of service from law enforcement who have sworn to uphold the law?

How about judging relationships? (See Lauderdale County deputies.) Do women living with men other than their husbands deserve less safety than their married counterparts?

If you feel you've received little more than lip service in such instances, contact us.

One final take on Sheffield: The Slag Yard summer schedule? We've heard nothing else official, but a source well connected to the local and national music scenes told our blog that the Steeldrivers would never play this area? Why?

They have no desire to come into any contact with former band member Gary Nichols. Somehow we don't think they have to worry. As of today, he's still in the Lauderdale County Detention Center where he spends most of his time. 

Band has new lead singer. Wife has new husband. Kids left to fend on their own. Who thinks meth is worth it?
