Jail Fail.

What’s stupider? Hanging yourself in jail or failing to hang yourself in jail?

From our friends at the Rockingham County (NC) Sheriff’s Office…

Shortly after 4 p.m. this evening, an inmate attempted to take his own life by hanging. He was not successful.

Detention personnel became aware of an emergency with an inmate and immediately removed him from further danger. He was given immediate assistance and transported by emergency medical services to a treatment facility. Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the incident. The inmate’s name is not being released.

Jail Fail, indeed.

    Shouldn’t you be glad that the deputies were able to rescue the inmate in time instead of belittling the inmate for not being successful?

    Not one of your sensitive days.

      It’s hard for me to be sensitive on this one because suicide is a horrible and selfish way to try and escape the problems that life has thrown at you (with very few exceptions… like quality-of-life issues).

      You are right on one thing. Thumbs Up to the deputies for catching this and stopping it quickly.

    Yeah Bruce, what’s your deal? Why aren’t you more sensitive to this lowlife’s poor misguided soul’s plight?

    Well I am with Bruce. If people are stupid enough to take their life then it shows they don’t want to be stopped or either they are begging for attention. Why try to stop them? You have other folks out here in the world here that may be fighting for theirs to live and others that don’t give a ratz ass. Who’s would you rather care about? I would rather care about the person who is fighting hard for theirs!!
