Looks Whos Talking

January 31st, 2010

Almost a whole page in the 1/28/2010 edition of the Page News and Courier featured an interview of two inmates that were used by Danny Presgraves for personal labor. The federal prosecutor had included using inmate labor for personal gain in the list of charges. The thing is, the inmates said they were paid for dong work for Danny. The inmates also said not to say anything about being paid, but it might have been said because they may have owed money to the state as in back child support. If they do owe money, smart move for saying they got paid. Who knows. The timing of this article is, well, who cares now. Perhaps the paper had nothing else better to do. I am sure now that pre Danny Presgraves inmates will want to talk about how they were used for personal labor also.

Many of people had complained in comment section that if it had been them, then they would have given a longer sentence term and etc. I say if it was you, you probably would because of the attitude you displayed. There are more important issues in this county for people to cry about who got away woth what. Eventually, it will catch up with them in some shape or form.

What the two inmates had talked about what they had done only confirms that using inmate labor for personal use has been going on for a long long time. That idea had not just sprung up once he was elected. Several businesses in the area had benefited from using the cheap labor.
