May things can land someone in jail - including missing a court date for a traffic ticket - it could have easily been you.

Yep. I was arrested and incarcerated for missing a court date, that I knew nothing about. It was for littering my own property over a city ordinance letter. I had corrected and cleaned up the property long before the court date.

Sick MF''''s running our jails,so apparently your not even safe while incarcerated.I don''''t need to read the innocent till proven guilty BS either,he wouldn''''t have resigned if he hadn''''t had something to do with this.Innocent people don''''t just up and quit their job.He should be prosecuted to the maximum the law allows.This is another perfect case of corruption within our system.Sickening you can;t even trust your elected officials within our communities.

If he bails out, he will probably run.

How do you get a job like that? He had dental, too.

Probe deeper . . .

Yes, I''m sure they all probe as deeply as they are able.

What news!! We have the underage s e x scandal of the polygamists, the apology by the Pope for the s e x u a l violations perpretrated by Priests in the Catholic Church, and the s e x slavery inside of a Western Oklahoma jail perpretrated by the Sheriff. Amazing!!! Maybe we could run our society like a well managed cattle and dairy farm. We could select a few highly intelligent well-built men for sperm donation for artificial insemination purposes and castrate the rest. It appears there are a lot of men out there who don''t know how to keep it in their pants.

Apparently many of you don''t know the difference between JAIL and PRISON. Jail is where you are held (by the Sheriff) while waiting for a court hearing - BEFORE any trial, and BEFORE and determination of guilt of innocence. Prison is where you are sent AFTER a conviction (felony). The article clearly states these women were held in the JAIL - therefore they had NOT been convicted of anything. Even Journalists get this wrong (see the byline)

According to our consititution and rules of law, everyone is considered INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. This is a fundamental issue in our country that separates us from the ''others'' we so quickly belittle in the world.

To claim these women were obviously guilty of ''a lot of bad behavior'' and not ''victims'' is prejudicial (judging before the facts) and non-american.

May things can land someone in jail - including missing a court date for a traffic ticket - it could have easily been you. We don''t know if they were good, bad, or otherwise - but regardless, being turned into a ***-slave is not a punishment (for either ***) for any crime in the US. What makes this heinous is it was carried out by a sheriff - and that some of you are so quick to pre-judge. May you be in their shoes next time. Open your eyes.

Florida deserves a spot on the "stupidest states" list.

[antoniof123]

Oklahoma has now joined the race for the stupidest state in the country.

It has been a close race with Alabama, Mississippi, and Georga leading the pack but now Oklahoma feels it has a shot at victory.

Wasn''t this the state that wants to teach creation in schools and write fictional works and teach as doctrine. Yes, that is right folks they want to dumb down their kids even more so they accept this action as being good.

Welcome to the club Oklahoma you are now entered in the race for dumbest state in the country.

I agree with your statement except about Rodney King. Rodney was a convicted criminal, he was fleeing the police and he assaulted then first before he was beaten. Remember the police officers were acquitted on all charges. The public did not get to see the full tape. Rodney was high on pcp that night. He did receive a mulitmillion doalar settlement which i don''t feel he should have but poetic justice has prevailed. He is broke again today and has nothing to show for his wealth.
