Several Florida jails and prisons are refusing to evacuate their residents ahead of Hurricane Milton despite being in the evacuation zone of the storm.
Manatee county jail, which has 1,200 incarcerated people and is located on the south-east side of Tampa Bay, in the path of the hurricane that was roaring towards it across the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, will not be evacuating, a representative of the jail told Newsweek on Tuesday.
The jail falls within the Zone A evacuation area, the outlet further reported. Those in Zone A could face a storm surge of up to 11ft and are supposed to be evacuated first, according to the Manatee county evacuation guide.
“We do not issue evacuation orders lightly,” said the Manatee county public safety director, Jodie Fiske, Newsweek reported. “Milton is anticipated to cause more storm surge than [Hurricane] Helene. So, if you stayed during Helene and got lucky, I would not press my luck with this particular system.”
Anyone ever read The Stand?
Yup. Thought of that right away when I first read this.
“Pleased to meet ya Lloyd! Hope you guessed my name.”
CONGRATULATIONS PENAL PALS!
YOUR SENTENCES HAVE BEEN UPGRADED!
You mean reduced?
Randomized!
In sane countries, prisons are rehabilitative, not punitive.
In other countries, schizophrenia causes positive imagery/voices instead of menacing figures and voices.
Wat
I said, “In other countries, schizophrenia causes positive imagery/voices instead of menacing figures and voices.”
In any civilized society, manslaughter or murder charges would be being prepared for whoever is in charge of this decision.
The people in prison are not considered humans, remember?

Yes, but they are valuable slave labor
They would rather let 'em all drown and just top up their slave camps with a fresh batch afterward.
That’s a crime against humanity.
More evidence every one of the people making these calls should hope hell is indeed make believe, because eternal damnation would surely be coming for all of them. DeSatan not demanding they be moved also shows all his supporters are now minions of satan.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the prisoners rebelled and started attacking guards and trying to break out.
If there’s a high chance you’re going to die in a hurricane … might as well take your chances and die trying to escape.
Better than drowning, probably
i wish the hurricane takes ron desantis with it and throws him into the sea
And then the hurricane can completely wipe out Mar a Lardo.
Nah, he’s definitely not going to put himself in any danger. If I controlled the weather, as suggested by morons, I’d direct it to him, but alas.
How much do you want to bet that they don’t even have a contingency plan to evacuate and secure their inmate population?
That’s the first thing I thought, got to get the maximum profit out of prisons, contingency planning costs money and it probably won’t happen anyway…
Why would anyone care about people who have been sent to prison? This is Florida, after all. They want to hurt and oppress as much as possible.
Let’s reclassify prisoners as involuntary employees and then try this again with some worker’s rights
We’d need a constitutional amendment to say they aren’t slaves first.
What are workers rights?
DeSatan state strikes again. Heil Florida man and the WoP rats.
