WLS 890AM: "Officials in southeast Georgia are considering a money-saving program that would put inmates in fire stations.
The program would put two inmates in each of three existing firehouses in Camden County.
Officials say the inmates would respond to all emergencies - including residential fires - alongside traditional firefighters.
The inmates would have no guard, but would be monitored by a surveillance system and by the traditional firefighters, who would undergo training to guard the inmates. Authorities say one traditional firefighter with correctional training can supervise up to three inmates."

Hacker Group 'Anonymous' Threatens New York Stock Exchange Website As Occupy Wall Street Protests Continue « CBS New York: "“The bottom line is people want to express themselves and as long as they obey the laws we’ll allow them to,” Bloomberg said early Monday.
But for some business owners, there’s nothing but outrage. They say the city’s stance on the protest means there is no end in sight to what has rapidly become a living nightmare, reports Brown.
“They want to take showers, want to wash up and use the toilet paper to dry up. It becomes … you gotta have one person assigned just to clean the bathrooms,” said Steve Zamfotis, manager of “Charley’s” restaurant."

Cash-Strapped Topeka May Stop Prosecuting Domestic Violence | NBC Chicago
Cash-Strapped Topeka May Stop Prosecuting Domestic Violence | NBC Chicago: "Cash-strapped Topeka, Kansas, has decided to stop prosecuting domestic violence casses in order to save money.
The City Council announced the proposal Oct. 4, after the Shawnee County District Attorney's office announced it could no longer prosecute misdemeanors, including domestic violence cases. The city's maneuver may even require repealing the part of the city code that bans domestic battery. Mayor Bill Bunten told the Topeka Capital-Journal city officials take domestic violence seriously, and it would be "dead wrong" to assume offenders won't be prosecuted. But the dispute is over who would pay for it, he said."
