FORMER TEXAS SHERIFF CONVICTED IN SEX SCANDAL DIES

The Associated Press has reported "A former sheriff accused of running a small-town jail where some cells did not lock and some inmates openly took drugs and had sex with female guards has died. Montague County authorities said the ex-sheriff, Bill Keating, who was awaiting sentencing for coercing a woman into sex to avoid jail, died after collapsing at home."

It never ceases to amaze us how long this type of jail scandal and this type of scheme can proceed undetected. It just emphasises the need for prison reform and increased oversight, particularly on the county jail level.
