Editorial: Drop tasty carrots here
If you want to get everyone in the neighborhood to come to a meeting, tell them there's a plan to build a jail nearby. About the only thing that might stir up more interest and worry would be plans for a landfill or a power plant.
It makes perfect sense that some in Salinas are upset by the idea of 500-bed re-entry facility for state prison inmates at the Natividad Medical Center/sheriff's office/county jail complex along Natividad Road.
Call it a jail, call it a prison, call it a re-entry facility. Whichever, it would be filled with guys who were locked up in the first place because of their tendency to do bad things. Who in their right mind would ever welcome such a place into their neighborhood?…
