Sheets Questions Work Release

Lt. Ralph She^te, Cape May County Democratic candidate for Sheriff, said recently, that despite what* Sheriff Fox said in a recent press release, the prisoner work release pt-ogram at the county jail is nothing to be proud of and certainly is not as efficient as Fox would lead you to believe. In his press release Fox said that the program is one of the few tried and proven’prison systems that is clearly beneficial to both the taxpayer and inmate when administered efficiently. According to Sheets, however, forty per cent of those oh the local work release program have never worked out He noted that a number of the inmates released from the county jail to work on the outside during the day. are frequently seen hanging out in area taverns and bars. "Is he (Mr. Fox)

pMMhHiN

awa “ that some of these inmates are placed into jobs without proper supervision and screening?" )ie asked. SheeUr'went on to say, "yes, the work release program ii mandated by the state, but after exhaustive studies, I havofound it out to be most in«ficient and not something Vb^ie proud of. We must, and I emphasize must, plead with: the state for a total revamping of that system; We must also revamp the county's screening procedures for inmates applying for the work release program"

"There is a definite lack of supervision." he added. "Some of the jobs given inmates outside of the county jail are totally unsupervised. Is this what we want of our law enforcement system?" he asked. Lt. Raiiph Sheets is a lifelong resident of Cape

May County and a member of the Wildwood, Police Force. He prides' himself on being a career law enforcement officer and not a politicwm. The fifty yearold Shdets is the father of 8, a.veteran, graduate of Middle Township High School, and holds degrees in Law Enforcement from Atlantic Community College and

Stockon State.
