Veteran Exclusive Jail Dorm Opens

Post by Flesh Thorn »

A Georgia sheriff says he is opening the first county jail in the U.S. exclusively for inmates who are military veterans.
"The people in the veterans dorm get access to programs that will hopefully be addressing their concerns or needs," said Muscogee County Sheriff John Darr. "When they transition back into the community we don't have the problem [of recidivism.]"
Darr went on to say, true crime prevention is having people not commit the same offense or crimes over and over again. He wants to keep folks from circulating in and out of the jail system.

This is waaay too late to help my fellow veterans from RVN.

Perhaps these veterans today will get help - it's not like only the VA is the perfect answer.

What's the difference between a veteran pepetrating an armed robbery and a non-veteran perpetrating an armed robbery?
