Your Photos: Geese Gather Outside Detention Center

Two geese enjoy Monday's warm weather.

These two geese flew the coop Monday to appreaciate the mid-seventies temperatures. One Patch reader noticed the pair catching rays outside the Harford County Detention Center, and decided to share the sight with the rest of us. After the fog of this morning cleared away, I've noticed birds chirping, trees budding and a warm breeze all harkening the coming of spring. I hope to get out and enjoy it. How about you? Have your own shots that bring spring to mind? Share them here, just click "Upload Photos and Video" to get started.

Harford Aims To Reduce Number of Repeat Criminal Offenders

A Who's Who of law enforcement, courts and community leaders attended a symposium on addressing recidivism.

The Harford County Detention Center is expected to reach maximum capacity by 2020 based on current projections—unless there is a change in inmate population. With no more room to build at current jail's site, and usually a decade needed for researching and building a new facility, the clock is ticking. "We really can't wait until 2020," Harford County Sheriff L. Jesse Bane said. "I need to do something as sheriff of Harford County." One thing Bane hopes will impact the jail's population in a positive way is reducing the number of repeat criminal offenders. With that goal in mind, Harford County's first re-entry summit, which took place Thursday morning at Harford Community College, was the first step in the process.  "There's no reason […

Hey Eisner, Hate is a strong word. Unfortuantely it is a word that you liberal "70's" hippies use whenever someone's opinion differs. Since you brought it up. Who reads the Aegis? Of course the Aegis is going to protect Bane. He is one of their own. Why else hasn't the Aegis pursued the Mark Forwood scandal? And since you brought it up. Violent crime was up under Jesse Bane when comparing his 1st…   more ›

Harford County Detention Center Inmate Dies

Inmate Michael Ray Malpass was found unresponsive in his cell Thursday night.

A Harford County Detention Center inmate was found dead in his cell Thursday night, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office.

Totally Unreal Well I had a nephew who was in Prison who was also a drug addict. He actually died in Prison because of an overdose of drugs, wonder how he got them? You would think if someone is there for drugs he would have detoxed not died. Or even be able to get them while being locked up.   more ›
