Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.

In the short run, Knight will be able to get away with confiscating Bibles, but in the long run, it won't stand up in court. It is not surprising that Knight would fight that kind of litigious battle. Knight fought the chief judge about courtroom security (and lost) and now Knight is seizing Bibles from inmates. Knight will lose, eventually (long term). It's crazy. This is not Nazi Germany. Or is it?

Is there anything that knight does that isn't about money? Anything? Please one person tell me one thing. This is just another scheme he has with some business to help them make money using our jail. Inmates can buy movies? What else? Order a pizza? It is Jail!

Kurt, Knight is going to be another "test case" to prove you wrong. You led Knight down the last legal fiasco, where the appellate court sustained the chief judge’s decision against Knight. And now you are prepared to lead Knight down another litigation-fiasco in the forcible confiscation of Bibles from inmates. And now inmates are PROHIBITED from possessing Bibles. You will lose, unless you back down – and if it goes to court, then it will be ANOTHER waste of taxpayers’ dollars in needless litigation. And you have the audacity to say that the confiscation and removal of Bibles has led to a reduction in violence and crime in the jail. It’s madness.

I am not sure is any of the staff go to church so having a bible might not be important to them, but as a man who has lost everything a bible might be your only saving grace. By removing bibles you are now going against God himself and I am sure he is watching closely. I bet Knight thinks he can beat God too. Good luck with that.

If the inmate has the tablet, and the religious material is on the tablet, then no deprivation exists.
I get that it's a hate-fest up in here for your sheriff, but you guys are barking up the wrong tree on this one.

Have a heart
Try telling that to your Grandma. To many inmates this is a tangible piece of their life.
