What doesn't make sense....

"The Jessamine County Public Library has a long history with censorship. One of my kids brought hom EJHS student dies in wreck, brother injured Comment by sh1964 : Monday, November 9 so very saddened by this family's loss. "

This. That has nothing to do with the title: JCDC work-release inmate killed in accident. And it is just random, 2 things that have nothing to do with each other. It just doesn't make sense.

The thing up there should say this:
An inmate at the Jessamine County Detention Center was killed Monday while working off River Road with the State Highway Department.

John Michael Hager, 35, of Nicholasville, was cutting down trees in southern Jessamine County when one of the trees he was working on fell on him. He died form his injuries.

“It’s a tragic accident,” Jessamine County Chief Deputy Allen “Doodle” Peel said.

Hager was a Class D, or non-violent, inmate at the jail.

The Kentucky State Highway Department uses some inmates to do labor around the state’s roads such as maintenance and picking up litter.

That's the article in the Journal.

who was supervising this person and why was there not experienced personel there that could tell him that he was doing something wrong. tragic my butt. this is a nightmare. man goes to jail for something small and dies from lack of supervision. where was the guard that was supose to be watching him. even though he was pulling a jail sentance not so violent he still was supose to be watched. but i see this will be covered up just like the police officer that shot a man insted of tazeing him. oops was an accident when we do something wrong but what about the average joe? no cover up for him.

I really don't know how you came to the conclusion that he wasn't being supervised. The guy grew up around chainsaws, he knew what he was doing and he was being supervised at the time. This is a very sad outcome of a hard days work. It was just his time to go.

He was being supervised,and the officer was right there with him...who knew that a tree would split and fall the way it did? He was a very good guy,but tragically it was his time to go.

He WAS being supervised and closely I might add. The guard who was there and Micael were very close in the sense that they were together every day and had a very friendly relationship. I know the guard that was there and he's one of the nicest people that you will ever meet,PERIOD this has the poor guy tore all to pieces, and some scum like you is gonna try to blame him for it?
It was a freak accident thats all! Its so typical of a dirtbag like you to chime in and make a bad situation worse. My guess is that your a former resident of the JCDC yourself and blame everyone else for your own pathetic existance.

People accidents happen, we can't prevent them, they're unexpected.

So Sad

michael was always funny and in always had a smile on his face. Didn't see him alot since school but only every now and then, matter a fact it was last month while he was on "trash" duty,i guess, walking down keene-troy with some other guys and he yelled, said hey and kept doing his thing with his big smile. He will be missed and I hope he feels no pain and is finally free to do whatever he wants!!!!!

you know you make people like your self look bad by name calling , i guess it shows how bright you are. you couldn't possibly see anything wrong with this. if the officer was watching so close why was he not able to push the inmate out of the way. or tell the inmate hey your cutting that tree down wrong . to answer your question i was never a guest at the jessamine county jail . sorry you missed there. i just pointing out that this will be a cover up deal just like so many other things the jessamine county courts, judges, sheriffs,police, and its backers will allow to happin. that officer is responciple for this persons death if he was that close to the inmate when he was obviously cutting down a tree the wrong way . are you blaming the inmate because he was there cutting a tree down for at the order of his correctional officer, it sounds as if your trying to ease this officers mind that it was an accident insted of bad judgement. by not having a professional tree person there to advise the inmate what to do and how , its the counties fault for this, and if the officer thought there was a danger he should have not let the person cut that tree, also being that the officer was not a experienced tree trimmer he should have not had this person doing this kind of work. work release programs are good but you have to conciter the possibilities of a situation like this happining so you dont put a unexperienced person in a position like this to save the county a few dollars.

hek - Do you have some kind of inside information on this? Did you witness the event? You seem quite certain that you are right but you do not appear to have first hand knowledge of the actual events that transpired that resulted in the death of this young man. It seems like you are making a whole lot of assumptions without any real facts.

It does sound like several people on here do have first hand knowledge regarding the man, the guard, and the incident who seem to feel that this was simply a freak accident. Working with trees is a perilous job...even for those who are well trained and I tend to believe that it is an unfortunate set of events...not a vast conspiracy to cover up wrong doings on the part of the police and detention center.

By the way...you shouldn't disparage another's intellect in a long diatribe with numerous grammatical errors and mispellings...you just look stupid when you do.

Letters at the beginning of sentences get CAPITALIZED!
Commas don't end sentences.
You can't start a sentence with or.
Yourself is a single word.
Repeat after me....RE SPONS I BLE not responciple.
Happen has and e.
Possessive nouns are written like this.... county's and officer's
I am pretty sure "instead" has an a in it!
Just a few things for you to consider...not consiter!
