Sheriff Hopeful Gives Views on Jail, Drugs
By ALAN MANSAGER
Kansan Staff Reporter
Timothy Albertson, Parsons sophomore, hopes to run for sheriff of Douglas County in the August Democratic primary election that favors unrestricted use of marijuana and is one of the first two candidates to be nominated.
The number one problem in the sheriff's office here, he said yesterday, is the administration of the jail.
Johnson is Douglas County sheriff.
"I'm not attacking Rex Johnson, but I think it has been an apathetic administration," Albertson said.
Albertson said he had taught himself intricacies of civil procedure. He has managed two city commissioner campaigns and worked on the stuff of Mike Glover, state represent-
He also has worked at the Kansas State Penitentiary helping inmates on clemency matters and matters dealing with probate and the parole board.
"One thing I would do as sheriff is remove those damn signs outside prisoners' cells which say 'Persons caught talking to prisoners will be prosecuted,'" he said.
"I want to liberalize the visiting rules." "Those rules are totally up to the shield, with a couple of exceptions, and most sheriffs in this state don't know what they are.
"I also won't allow the preachers to come down and preach to the prisoners against their friends a friend who was in there on Sunday and a preacher came down and preached to all of them."
Albertson said sherifshs should be given more power to deal with parole and bail "The food is rather bad from what I hear," he said. "I think that Rex gets two dollars a day to feed prisoners. It's not more than three or four dollars. I would like to get five dollars a day per prisoner."
Albertson aid sheriffs should be given more power to deal with parole and bail procedures.
"Sheriff should be given broader authority in allowing work release programs," he said. "I can't see the reason in keeping a man locked up in a county jail unless he's comin the boat but he was saved by fishermen. Shortline and water surface searches for the ship's captain.
"I can't see a man locked up during the day if he has a job already unless there is clear, probable cause to believe he wouldn't appear for his trial.
"I don't think first-time offenders on crimes of non-violence should be jailed either. I do say they who have committed a crime of violence should not be jailed. I think you have it wrong."
Albertson said he thought procedure for dealing with juveniles accused of crimes needed revision
"Juveniles don't have an automatic right to bail which I don't think is right," he said. "I don't think any juvenile 13 to 14 years should spend any time in the county jail before he
Albertson said Douglas County needed a detention facility for juveniles.
"We have access to three close ones which is probably why we don't have one," he said. The jail should also have better facilities for giving medical examinations to prisoners, or just offering them.
"It's been recently shown that no doctor will come down to the jail, even when people have about died there," he said, "probably because there aren't examination areas."
He said that the sheriff should take prisoners to doctors' offices if they needed medical attention and that the county should pay medical costs
Another reform measure Albertson said he would work for if elected is legalization of marijuana.
"I think marjurias should be taken out of control of legislation and any person 18 or older should be able to purchase and sell it," he said. "And I think parents should be able to give
