Liberal Sheriff Is Trying To Make His Jail “Woke”

This is all we need more of the “woke” movement… Wisconsin Liberal Sheriff Kalvin Barrett claims he is trying to be proactive with the new terminology that he is pushing for. The new Sheriff wants to start calling inmates, “residents” instead, he claims it is far more respectful. So now they are worried about the feelings of criminals…

“I’ve learned a new perspective,” Barrett announced. “We will no longer refer to those in our care of the Dane County Jail as inmates but we will use a more humanizing term like resident or those within our care. This change in language is a way to humanize those incarcerated in our Dane County Jail.”

“This will allow us to move toward a 21st century policing mindset in which we treat everyone within our community with dignity, respect, and humanity,” Barrett said. He called it “normalizing language.”

“As your sheriff, I believe our philosophies, policies, and practices should be proactive and not reactionary like many other areas of our criminal justice system,” Barrett said.

“The Dane County Sheriff’s Office is a national leader in appropriate progressive reform, and many follow our lead.”

“Barrett was appointed Dane County Sheriff by Gov. Tony Evers. The appointment fills a vacancy created by Sheriff David J. Mahoney’s resignation, effective May 8, 2021… He is currently a law enforcement officer at Wisconsin State Fair Park and teaches law enforcement and criminal justice at Madison College where he is the faculty director of the criminal justice studies program.”

Where were the inmate’s dignity, respect, and humanity when they committed a crime in their communities? The State Rep talks about bringing a sense of belonging… Why would we want to make people feel like they belong in jail? The only reason a person is supposed to be there is if they commit a crime.
