The Tampa Tribune says the Polk County Jail housed more people per capita than any jail in the state in 2006, and ranked fifth in the nation among cites or counties with their own jail systems.

Sixty percent of the crimes committed on USF’s main campus are from people who have no affiliation with the school.  Bruce Benson is USF’s newly named director of public safety, and he has some ideas to keep these troublemakers outside the grounds.  The university plans to erect gates at a six entrances and close them between midnight and 6am.  Sometimes all you need is a bit of common sense.
