    My late husband was a criminal attorney here in the deep south. He saw a lot of down right lop sided justice that looked like it stepped right out of the 20th century. Very nuts, yes.

    So you got to see it up close and person through the eyes of your husband? Condolences to both of you. It must have upset him terribly to witness that. You too. Thank you for your reply cp. I wonder if there will ever a solution to that problem?

    I believe they still incarcerate for being publicly drunk. Usually this involves a disturbance.

    Thank you for your reply bh. I don't understand why drunks don't drink at home. It's cheaper and they wouldn't be at any risk.
