In my county whose entire budget is only 11 million annually and whose revenues are running a million dollars behind last year has it's county jail running $368,000 over budget just half way through the year. One of the reasons? It is currently housing 5 pregnant meth heads who  have to go to drug treatment everyday and receive prenatal care all at county expense. Government money eventually shows up in places it should not otherwise get to but it often becomes the last resort.</p></blockquote><p></p>
