Hope it wasn’t one of the few good ones on the force. That dept. has a few corrupt officers who like to take advantage of their power and position to intimidate, especially young women. Ask any of those who have spent time in the jail there. And much of this goes on with the knowledge of the sheriff himself.
Of course; if you really want to find out all that is going on in that jail you need to talk to those who are currently or have in the past been incarcerated there .
