We just had a community meeting at the Smalltown church. Myra MacDonald and I invited the warden of the new Smalltown Vicinity Detention Center to bring his team and speak to us about the new jail outside of town. It is due to open in late October. It has caused a storm of controversy, courtesy of the previously mentioned Pedro Perez. After all the ruckus he raised, the jail staff agreed to install a siren in case of escapes. They were going to install one anyway, but it made a good platform for Pedro.
We decided to have the jail staff come to show a video and pictures of the detention center, and to answer questions. It was a productive meeting. About 30 people from the church and community showed up. They asked many good questions. One question was how far the stun fence was from adjoining farmers' land. Answer: Pretty far, so no crops would be jeopardized.
Billy-John was there too, along with his grown daughter Teresa. He had the misfortune to sit behind an enormously round woman who almost completely blocked his view. Billy-John looked at the woman's curves and billows and whispered to Teresa, "I think she has an extra boob."
