024---JAIL INMATES AND LOCAL ELECTION IN 2004?

Where in America but in Lowndes County Georgia could a forty-nine year old white male (inmate) die in his jail cell, and his name and cause of death be with held from the public for over a month?

While newspapers, radio, TV stations, elected officials, governmental agencies, local citizens, Christians, Muslims, Jews, and others seem to follow the legend of the Ostrich.

Some citizens seem to care more about a cat trapped in a tree than the loss of a human life---in this South Georgia Town.

Even though, over six inmates have died in or surrounding the Lowndes County Jail.

In 1998, nearly 2,000 citizens marched to show their dissatisfaction and outrage over the treatment of inmates.

Most recently, on 20 June 2004 threats were made on a local candidates freedom and well being. These threats and racial epitaphs were made at a polling place in Lowndes County. Moreover, 911 was called but the again the local population knows nothing about this incident.

It appears that this too will be pushed under the table and not reported to the public by local news media networks.

Usually Metropolitan Cities report incidents of this nature but not here in Valdosta Georgia. It seems that our local government are locked in a time warp, and blinded to the fact that we are living in the 21st century---the age of information and open government. Peace!
