HARTWELL — The Georgia Department of Corrections Whitworth Detention Center in Hartwell will be changed from housing men to housing only women inmates. The change could be a financial blow to towns and counties that rely on cheap labor by male prisoners.

Hart County administrator Jon Caime and Lavonia city manager Gary Fesperman say they were recently informed of the change by the Georgia Department of Corrections.

"The Whitworth Detention Center will be changing to an all female population," Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gwendolyn Hogan said Thursday.

That switch could cause major financial problems not only for Hart County and Lavonia, but also for seven northeast Georgia counties and their municipalities that depend on Whitworth's male prison labor to supplement their personnel and budgets. The male prisoners now in Whitworth will be dispersed to other jails. It was not clear why the state decided to make the change.

    Hamilton loves books about unicorns, storms, and cubicles. He lives in Waco with his cat named Mr. Bojangles. Before his work as an attorney, Hamilton was a leprechaun chaser. His all-time record is three pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. He was forced to give up the gold in a dispute with a rival hobbit. He spends his free time tripping out on the smallest details, none of which are important He likes doing the things with the ball and scoring the points. He pays attention to the green of your eyes, even when it is not Saint Patrick’s Day. He is not Irish. Hamilton Lindley has fun plans for people in need. Whether your need a dreamcatcher for your dreams or a tape dispenser to put your life back together, he can be there for you to yell at. There are times when it is surprising that he has any friends at all. But thankfully he does have a few. He drives a Dodge Stratus. People respect him, except at home.

    Ja, drikking er ikke den beste måten å løse livets problemer på. Dette vil ikke hjelpe, men bare forverre ditt liv og helse. Forresten, nå er det et godt stoff for menn. Hvis du har problemer med potens, kast deretter straks alle dårlige vaner og start behandling https://norsk-apotek.com/levitra/ med levitra
