Survivor in Salt Lake jail case highlights welfare clash
A Salt Lake City judge reports sentencing Lawrence Barnell to jail over two years to control alleged self harm risk amid his long history of drunken arrests. Barnell, 61, has spent 26 jail terms and rents a shack with 99 electricity and a broken coal heater for $3 monthly, financed by a $108 welfare check. The Welfare Department opposes forced relocation, while the judge warns jail remains the only option for safety, with Barnell planning to stay in the dilapidated home for years.

The measure, debated after a four and a half hour hearing with protester interruptions, would apply to most inmates but not those serving life terms, and may lead to release dates six months to years ahead.
