Call me jaded, but when four prisoners escaped from the Tangipahoa Parish Jail, the remedial steps taken by the Tangi Sheriff’s Office to patch up a gap under the wall might have raised a few eyebrows.
All four escapees were recaptured but it had to be something of an embarrassment to the sheriff’s office to admit that the four weren’t even missed because of an improper head count.
So, what were the remedial steps taken?
Well, the fence was repaired….by inmates.
Isn’t there an expression about letting a fox guard the henhouse?
