Local Government Aids Prisoner Escape

The Texas criminal justice system, responsible for keeping prisoners in prison, and keeping contraband out has recently succeeded spectacularly. Although not at keeping keeping prisoners in or contraband out.

So I guess that means that we have yet another government organization that is incapable of doing what it was setup to do.

But don't worry. These are all government employees. And as such none are required to do anything other than to pick up their paychecks. So at worst, a couple of scapegoats will get fired, and it will be back to business as usual.

So we can rest easily knowing that prisoners will continue to escape and that contraband will continue to get smuggled into prisons.

The thing to remember is that of the three greatest lies ever told, the biggest lie of all is:

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help".
