Cook County Jail Computer SO OLD its Dangerous

The County of Cook has been so negligent in not funding computer upgrades that lawyers have asked a federal judge to order it to update the 30 year old antiquated DOS based computer system at the largest county jail in the country. Even Sheriff Dart admits that there is a danger of releasing the wrong inmate.

This is typical of Cook County where pay-to-play is King and priorities are backwards. Despite the highest county taxes in the country, Cook County because it wastes 10% of the citizen's tax dollars on "required" kickbacks, excess employees with four hour lunches, and padded salaries of incompetent patronage hires, can't afford the basics that ensure public safety. Corruption is still King in Cook County.
