And if you think the sheriff’s department (which runs the county jail there) didn’t know this was going on, then I have some prime vacation real estate on the Louisiana coast to sell you.

WTF? JAILS, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies were all offered the vaccine for FREE. However, these state AHOLES decided to BUY Ivermectin and use prisoners as guinea pigs??? SOMEHOW this seems illegal.

You’re looking at the City and County of Denver, which includes Denver International Airport, a huge block of land out on the plains northeast of the city itself. The City bought it all for an incredible bargain, then built a modern airport on it. Other than the notorious automated baggage system that flubbed, and the demon horse sculpture that killed the artist, it’s been an infrastructure winner. Not a lot of people live out there yet, but the tide is surely rising.

Just talked with an attorney about this. Neither of us is familiar with AR rules, but in this state inmates can sue for denial of care, but not for malpractice. Prison doc examines you and gives you an aspirin for a broken leg, and never anything more, that’s not denial of care.

A little clarification:
US Representatives do not have to live in their district. State Representatives and Senators have to live in their district for one year before they can run for office.

I used to work in Paragould, right near the boot heel notch. The joke was, you could cede the Missouri Bootheel over to Arkansas and raise the mean IQ of both states.
…this joke was told to me, with some earnestness, by residents on the AR side of the border.

And I’m neither a legal professional nor a medical one, but various search-engine forays for laws related to “informed consent” in Arkansas turn up stuff that is almost exclusively related to (sigh) abortion.
I’m also not a betting man, but if I were, I would not bet a large sum on the inmates/victims being able to recover much in the way of damages.

I think Blucifer and its demonic red eyes is pretty cool, but it freaked out my granddaughter the first time she saw it.

Proving monetary damages will be difficult. But it shouldn’t impede criminal prosecution of the mengele.

Apart from the howling stupidity of building a major aviation hub at the foot of one of the biggest turbulence factories around (known in the vernacular as “the Rocky Mountains”), DIA is usually a pretty decent travel experience. Sure beats the old Stapleton all hollow.

Wouldn’t bet much on that, either, sadly. There ought to be professional sanctions, but again … it’s Arkansas, Jake.

Where are the “it’s my right to decide what I put in my body!” folks now on this one? Seriously. And where is the F is the Federal government when it comes to protecting the health and rights of prisoners in Arkansas state prisons and jails? This appears to be an illegal and immoral breach of trust by both the jail, medical personnel that work there, and LEOs in Arkansas, etc. If the State of Arkansas won’t try to protect prisoners from being illegally experimented on in that state then the Federal government must do something about this ASAP. And even if the state is doing something about it, a Federal investigation should be begun immediately—when is the Federal grand jury going to be empanelled to look in to this abuse of human beings under the care of the state? Tomorrow seems to be too late already…

Except that the drive to the airport takes longer than the flight.

Not if you live in Denver. Denver has a separate commuter rail line that runs from Union Station to DIA. It takes 37 minutes to reach the airport from Union Station. Trains depart every 15 or 30 minutes, with frequent service all day.
