Hum Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 HILLSBORO, Mo., Aug. 3 (UPI) -- A Missouri sheriff said 66 people spent the night in county lockup to raise money for a newly renovated wing of the jail. Sheriff Oliver "Glenn" Boyer said those spending Friday night behind bars at the Jefferson County Jail ranged in age from 18 to 82, with some being duped into participating by family and friends who gave initial false excuses for visiting the courthouse in the evening, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Monday. Boyer said reservations for the evening cost $50 for individuals and $90 for couples. "I never thought I'd get people to pay to get in here," Boyer said. The sheriff said the wing of the jail will likely begin receiving actual prisoners Monday. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
