http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/05/06/georgia-opens-first-jail-devoted-to-u-s-veterans/The problem of US military veterans falling into a life of crime after returning from Iraq and Afghanistan has reached such levels that a law enforcer in Georgia has opened what is believed to be Americas first county jail devoted to veteran inmates.
John Darr, the sheriff of Muscogee County in Columbus, Georgia, has created the new facility in an attempt to break the cycle of recidivism by providing them with specialist services to help them deal with the problems they carry with them when they decamp.
Its really unique. What were bringing together is a lot of resources, Darr told the local Columbus Ledger-Enquirer.

HEY by making sure these brave fighting soldiers are treated you might have to actually hirer a few people to give them immediate care...
