That traffic actually moves both ways. I may get in trouble with the family if they see this but my brother is in county lockup right now and his attorney is fighting his transfer to a state facility. County is too full and oddly there is room in a state facility. He's not that strong a person and I don't know how well he'll fare in such a facility. He's lost more than a pound a day since his incarceration began ~40 days ago. And just to let Wojtek know, in spite of the fact that he doesn't "give a flying fuck about such people", he didn't hurt anyone he is really just a huge dumbass sometimes. He just missed his daughters first communion. He's a long way from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics!
