Since they are a private corporation I don't know how much of their detailed expenditure can be handed out to the public unless being contracted by the county allows it.

Their website is interesting though. http://investor.shareholder.com/cxw/resu...
The 8-K shows their quarterly results and even mentions the Adams County Correctional Center.

" As of August 1, 2009, we had approximately 9,400 unoccupied beds available for use at facilities that had availability of 100 or more beds, including 502 beds at the North Georgia Detention Center, where renovations to prepare the facility for detainees from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) were completed during July 2009. However, this inventory of beds available is reduced to approximately 6,600 beds after taking into consideration the beds committed pursuant to new management contracts with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) at our newly constructed Adams County Correctional Center and ICE at the North Georgia facility.

Commenting on the financial results, Chief Executive Officer, John Ferguson stated, “We are pleased with our second quarter financial results. Despite a challenging environment, we were able to generate earnings ahead of our forecast. Inmate populations at several facilities came in ahead of expectations as California ramped more quickly and U.S. Marshals populations grew. During the third quarter we look forward to the commencement of our new contracts with the Bureau of Prisons at our Adams County Correctional Center and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement at our North Georgia Detention Center.”

Probably better left to churches and schools to continue the business than officials who haven't asked the right questions and don't have the answers about projected income and use. Like throwing a dart just to see where it will land.

On County needs to be realistic on recreation

Does the Natchez area not have a company that could have demolished the building? I know Natchez doesn't like to tear down things, especially historic ones, but somebody in a surrounding county at least could have done the work. Guess it was put out to bid and the money from that goes back to Allabammy! So much for keeping it in Natchez.

"In 2008, the lawsuit says, Ferrell admitted to the purchases and resigned. Upon resignation, Ferrell paid back more than $1,000 in the form of his final paycheck."

"Ferrrell, 41, of Gulfport, IS a Marine interdiction agent with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security."

How do you admit that you stole over $100,000 from one job and then get a job as an agent within the US Dept of Homeland Security?

Amen about the pageant. When you don't have children in it anymore and you aren't serving as a volunteer at it, honestly it's boring and at times campy to the point of embarrassing. Not dissing the volunteers because it is a big production but it is time to bring it up to date and make it more realistic. If not, it will die away too.

freedom42, point well taken. My mistake. I read something about her in USA Today a couple of years ago and my memory was incorrect about her occupation. The following is how I thought about the possibility of animals being the source of a bacterial infection:

"Speaking of business — and goats — Lynn Palmer, a physician, and Marshall Hawkins, a dentist, have lived on 23 acres outside of Natchez, Miss., for ........" http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/2......

"And speaking of owning your own business, in our next story we meet a husband and wife in Natchez who have started their own business. It is the business of cheese, goat cheese that is. Dr. Marshall Hawkins, a dentist and his wife Dr. Lynn Palmer a physician, never imagined that their small farm outside Natchez would turn into another full time business for the couple. .......

Brucellosis - "The disease is transmitted primarily through contaminated or untreated milk (and its derivatives) or through direct contact with infected animals, which may include dogs, pigs, camels and ruminants, primarily sheep, goats, cattle, bison. Some vaccines used in livestock, most notably B. abortus strain 19 also cause disease in humans if accidentally injected. In first stage of the disease, septicemia occurs " source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brucellosis......

"LEPTOSPIROSIS is transmitted from goat to goat or from goats to humans
through milk. This disease causes high fever in humans for 3 to 8 days. Other signs are headaches, vomiting, and pains in muscles and joints, followed by jaundice and kidney complications. It is very serious to both goats and humans.
LISTERIOSIS This disease can be transmitted from goats to humans as meningitis and glandular fever."
