WALKER COUNTY, GA. (WRCB) -- Skilled, non-violent inmates save Walker County hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to the sheriff's office.

"I'm full of restless energy anyway. I'm never one to sit around," says inmate, Michael Tapp.

Tapp spends a couple hours every week outside the confines of his jail cell, where he has spent 15 months behind bars.

"I was put on probation for possession of meth in 2009, violated my probation and was re-arrested," Tapp explains.

However, Tapp is also a skilled builder. On Monday he installed a gun safe at the courthouse, which he designed and built himself.

"Took about a day, a day and a half to complete it," says Tapp.

Tapp is a part of the Inmate Labor Program in Walker County.

They have the experience in trials and mediations to guide your case in the right way. There are few important decisions at the outset of the case that can turn the tide in your favor. Choosing the right lawyer is one of them.

    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.
