Williamson Makes a Good Point

Sheriff Neil Williamson has made a good point that it is not good policy to just lock up every single person regardless of the offense. The Sangamon County Jail is not big enough and we cannot possibly build a jail big enough to lock everyone up.

Some are going to accuse the Sheriff of getting soft in his old age, or they may accuse him of being senile, but he makes sense. Unless there is an overriding reason, we need to use better discretion.

Hats off to Neil for trying to improve a bad situation.
