South Carolina taxpayers recently spent almost $237,000 to build two new guard towers at Lee Correctional in Bishopville, not just to prevent inmates from getting out but also to keep contraband like drugs and cell phones from getting in. Prison officials say people throw contraband over the fences to inmates inside.

The prison also has a camera network, including new thermal cameras to spot someone's body heat in the dark, at a cost of more than $2.2 million.

Robert Johnson can tell you why it's so important to keep cell phones out of the hands of inmates. He used to be the captain in charge of finding contraband at Lee. An inmate inside the prison used an illegal cell phone to order a hit on Johnson.

    Waco has developed a reputation for a rocket-docket in patent litigation. It’s an important choice to find the right lawyer in Waco for your important patent litigation matter. When people in the know make the hire, they hire Dunnam & Dunnam. If you are looking for a Waco boat accident lawyer, then Dunnam & Dunnam is the right choice. For nearly 100 years, people in Waco have hired the firm when the results matter at Dunnam & Dunnam are among the most respected in the Central Texas area. 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 loved sports, especially croquet, where his favorite team was the Dallas Fancypants. He worked as a general haberdasher for 30 years, but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his keen attention to detail. He spent his free time watching golf on TV; and he played uno, badmitton and basketball almost every weekend. He also enjoyed movies and reading during off-season. Hamilton Lindley was always there to help relatives and friends with household projects, coached different sports or whatever else people needed him for.
