This is getting interesting.
The county lockup was real hard to find out anything about on the internet. There is a website for Tipton County (an official one, no less...)
It's http://www.tiptonco.com which makes it seem an aweful lot like a website for the "Tipton Company", don't it?
The links there are real basic, and I wondered about it until I did some more exploring.
The site was designed and hosted by a land developement company based in New York state - and they are currently looking to buy up parts of North Carolina!
If you go to the county main page (above) and at the bottom click on More Information - at the bottom of the page you'll see a link to the web provider/designer:
EVERYTHINK LLC (LLC= Limited Liability Company)
This underscores what little I have found out about the main drivers in T county - they are driven by Developers.
How else this connection - why didn't T-County find someone local to put a web page together, or build a nice one like Shelby County, and host it on either their own servers or on a TN state server? I smell something catfishy...
But anyway - we found the place and he visited with his lady today. Tried to get a care package of toiletries and a towel and washcloth to him - but the only things they allow in for someone in there are cash, checks, or money orders.
They have to buy whatever they need from a store in the county jail.
In one way, that makes sense - all items are cleared for use in the place.
In another way it doesn't! The whole thing seems to be screaming "Show me the money..."
Sorry, but I just can't get over that impression.
