A friend of mine learned in his Ethics class that it costs about $30,000 per year to keep a person in jail. He'll have plasma TV, 3 meal, and plenty of time to read.

velheim: just askin gonefishin. He'll tell you just how slow the cops are.

I do suspect, however, that true jurisdiction went to the Rockford Police Department etc..,

I remember reading about this when the body was found in the Janesville Gazette.

Our cops must be pretty slow if it took them this long to figure out who did it.

Come on people we need a real deterrent, when some one is guilty we need the death penalty. Are jails are overcrowded enough.

If Raymond C. Williams did this, he deserves to be put away for a long, long time.

Why do these knuckleheads choose Janesville? It must be some kind of conspiracy. There are so many good people in Janesville who don’t need this type of negative news about their city. Oh wait! It’s 2009. Never mind.
May God Bless.
