Jail crowding on TV, online
Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes took this week's episode of "Sheriff's Beat" to look at what the jail does.
The movie comes from the National Institue of Corrections and has the feel of an educational video. In the intro, it borrows clips from several well-known jail movies: "The Shawshank Redemption," "Cool Hand Luke," "The Silence of the Lambs," and others.
Barnes bookends the video with an introduction and a closing statement.
"We need some additional space as it relates to our Guilford County Jail," Barnes said at the end of the video. And he stops just shy of telling people vote yes for the $115 million jail bond referendum.
So what do you think?

How about this. All United States inmates be released immediately and sent to all of our war zones and send our soldiers home.
You do the crime you pay the time.
