Your first mistake is even reading the Herald Tribune. Haven't read that crap in years. They are soooo anti LE. The Tampa Tribune needs to buy out this waste of a news company. DONT BELIEVE anything they print. I have seen too many times there lies but hey its a business they are in it to sell news. Hence should I say more.

I think we can all agree that we can have better systems in place. It’s good to see someone try a different approach.

I think we can all agree that our systems can be improved. I’m glad someone is taking initiative.

Here's a good education for you: READ (If you can stand it) Herald Trib for a month. It shouldn't take that long for you to see how far out commie they are. You'll probably vomit by their third article. But Knight is S20 too, so that's a good rag to find a quote from him, although I wouldn't trust anything they publish to be anywhere near accurate.

Unprecedented population boom = new jail needed
One thing is for certain -- the inability or unwillingness of Knight to build a new jail, to accommodate the exploding population-growth of Sarasota County -- will force the next new sheriff to work with county commissioners to build a state-of-the-art new jail within the next 10 years. It may seem like common sense to you that Sarasota County's population is exploding, so a new jail needs to be built. However, you will have to wait for the completion of the U.S. government's census bureau tabulations. That should be in the next 12 months from now?
This year, Siesta Key had the #1 rated beach in the United States (again). The entire nation is coming here. The population is booming like never before. A true strategic planner would recognize these facts. The next new sheriff will have to implement common sense to strategically plan for services that are needed NOW, as well as services that will be needed in the next 10 years (like a new jail).
Common sense is coming to the Sarasota Sheriff's Office in the next new administration.

I disagree with Tom Knight. It’s either the U.S. constitution is antiquated or jail is simply not harsh enough to place a reasonable amount of fear in the mind of repeat offenders to avoid returning. I’m all for physical punishment for breaking the law (not juveniles) in lieu of jail time. It works in other countries. But illegal in U.S. because the constitution hasn’t been repealed and certain elements replaced or modified. Maybe one day Americans will wake up and change the constitution.

Mr. Tom Knight's statement is asinine and he is a lightening rod for controversy. Mr. Knight is the polar opposite of Sheriff Grady Judd. If a deputy or a trooper overhead Mr. Knight saying that "a county jail is an antiquated philosophy of corrections," then nobody would believe it. Thank goodness Mr. Knight's comments are bonafide documented in the media.
Democrats and public defenders are fawning over him.
