Tough Judge Brings Crowded Jail To Paducah
A new Paducah Kentucky judge promo pledged to crack down on violators has led to jail overcrowding and higher prisoner feeding costs. Kenneth Burkhart, former McCracken County sheriff, defeated City Judge Tyler Bourne for a stricter term and took office Jan 5. On Tuesday 47 inmates filled the city jail with 35 beds, a drunk tank converted to hold overflow, and 24 mattresses on order. Prisoners unable to pay fines stay behind bars until work reduces the debt at $2 daily, raising daily feeding costs from $17 in 1969 to about $42.
