Dayshift in the jail

I wanted to take advantage of the dump offering good rates this week, so I went through my house and found everything I could think of that needed to be thrown away. I got it loaded into my truck and was off to the dump. I was a little behind the schedule I wanted to be on. I wanted to get into the jail at noon. I did not get in until twelve-thirty.

While at the jail I manned control for a while. Then some warrants got brought up stairs. I got the paper work going. A form needed to be filled out per warrant and the person need to have a criminal history ran through NCIC III and his license ran through Washington and any other state where he may have a current license. Once that is done then the actual entry can be completed. It take a while to get all the data entered. Then if there is additional information a supplemental entry has to take place. I got all the paperwork and one warrant entered. Then Brian came into control. The district court called and said that someone needed to come over from district court to jail. I went to get him. I got to the district court room and I was told that I was not needed. I went into the Auditor's office. Everyone was excited to see me. They came over and we talked a tiny bit.

Then I was off to the jail to do finger prints for two people who needed to have them done for being a school teacher. One lady said she went to WSU to get it done two times, and both times it was messed up. So she came down to the county to get it done by us.

I got both of those taken care of. I let them go and I heard that Lauren who had a few inmates doing some work outside had lost track of them. The lawn equipment was next to some lawn they had mowed and they were nowhere to be found. I went out and talked to Lauren. He told me the areas they should be. I started to head towards the public service building when they came walking out of the court house. Lauren radioed that he had them. I walked back to where they were. You could see on their faces they were worried about seeing me there.

I asked where they had gone. They said the bathroom. I asked them how long. They said about fifteen minutes. I told them in the future they need to let someone know when they are leaving their assigned area. Eunice came out from the Auditor's office and saw me. She gave me a hug. I went back into the jail and into control. I worked for another two hours or so before calling it a day.

I went home and changed into street clothes. I drove to Pullman and met up with Ryan. We watched Third Watch. Nick and Russell came over. After Third Watch we talked about my mom finding out about me. I also talked to Russell about my friend Dave. Nick showed me a new book he got full of gay quotes. One of them was about gay people knowing how to dress and that they should because they spend a lot of their life in the closet. I was at Ryan's until about midnight and then I went home because I was supposed to meet up with the guy who will be renting a room from me.
