The 35-year-old inmate ‘freely” admitted to having sex with the woman, saying ‘look at the video,’ police said

The 35-year-old inmate ‘freely” admitted to having sex with the woman, saying ‘look at the video,’ police said

When he was supposed to be slinging hash at a sheriff’s barbecue, a Florida prisoner instead slinked off to have sex with a woman in a portable toilet, according to police.

Hartley Elliot Sanchez, 35, is now facing a felony prisoner escape charge after police said he wandered away from his duties for a secret dalliance, according to an arrest report from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office obtained by The Smoking Gun.

I don't see how this is felony prisoner escape. Would he have been charged with that just for going to the bathroom? If not, there's no reason to charge him with it in this instance. They're just mad that people know how shitty they are at watching prisoners.

Being used as slave labor is gross enough. To be used at an event put on by the sheriff is just another level.

I am worried that I need to explain that the comment was directed towards the prison industrial complex not the people fuckin in the porta potty

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 47 points 1 week ago

I assume we’re all more confused about why a Sherrif would want prisoners serving food to them on their Birthday – and why that’s even a thing.

Oh – Florida – carry on then.

[–] BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Firstly, how is this news? Second: Charged with Prisoner escape or attempted escape??? The dude clearly was not trying to escape. An early release maybe, but not an escape. "Prisons are over crowded." Mhhmm, mhhmm... Let's have this guy in prison for the next 15 years on a bullshit charge.

It's news because Florida immediately publishes all charges and mugshots and people latch onto that. Florida doesn't have an excessive amount of crazies, they just air their dirty laundry and people latch onto it. You're seeing it because people are voting and commenting on the absurdity

True.

Florida doesn't have an excessive amount of crazies

Yeah they do. The legislature makes the WWE look like a well-functioning and ethically sound workplace in comparison.

they just air their dirty laundry

Well that too, but not ONLY that.

I don't even know where to begin with any of this.

Aside from the alleged porta-potty incident, the fundraiser appeared to be a success. A large crowd of people attended, and $63,000 was raised, according to the sheriff’s office.

what I'm always curious about these sorts of thing is like... was it raw? or is bro always ready to go with the condies?

sorry if it's a weird thought

[–] taco@anarchist.nexus 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm out of line to assume this, but no part of me is inclined to assume that the unplanned inmate sex in a porta-potty would be anything but raw and stinky.
