It has become my opinion that everyone I have met or heard from,who have issues with sheriff mascara,usually had been arrested by his department,or almost,anyways.

What is this,screw up so you can go to jail for medical treatment???If they did not do the crime,they would’nt be doing the time,and could have gotten medical attention on their own dime,like the rest of us.Custodial care my a**.

This is just one more example of the ongoing neglect for
prisoners health and welfare that is so indicative of
sheriff Ken Mascara and SLSD’s policy in inmate treatment.
The Rock Road facility is run as a place for punishment and
denial of basic needs rather than a jail to detain those
who are awaiting trial and by law considered innocent. In the case of inmates serving sentences it remains the responsibility of the SLSD to insure proper and timely
medical treatment is forthcoming.
These inmates lawsuits should go forward if only as a
reminder to Sheriff Ken that he has a fiduciary duty to
those who are in his care. The only real way to avoid future lawsuits is to remove the dead wood from our
Sheriff Department starting with Sheriff Ken!
