I'm on a forum where we discuss the things we see at work and how to live through bad days. This post was left by one of the members:
I worked at a county jail for about a year. It was amusing. [information removed to protect poster] Anyway, I used to be one of the guys that would handout those checks as the inmates "checked" out. I'd get people that would go "Uhh, thats not my name." "Is that the name you gave the officer?" "Yeah, but its not my real name. How do I cash this?" "Come back tomorrow during normal business hours and talk to Lt Smith. He's the only one who can change the names on the checks." You know how he changes the name on the check? He arrests you for providing false information and enters the money back into the system. You get a new check when you bond out on your new charges.
You gotta love dumb criminals.
