Excerpt:
"The Post & Email has received a report from a visitor to Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III, who has been incarcerated in the Monroe County jail since December 7, 2011.
We were told that the Madisonville mayor and the “chief inspector of the state, and all the bigwigs” inspected the facility, about which many have reported horrible conditions equated to a “dungeon.” The source reported that the inspectors went into Fitzpatrick’s cell and said, “That’s Fitzpatrick.”
“That just indicates that between your articles and our letters and our contacting people, we kicked up a storm,” the source said.
Last evening The Post & Email was contacted by an individual in Tennessee who expressed sudden concern for Fitzpatrick’s well-being.
The Post & Email was also told that Fitzpatrick is pleased with paperwork he received last week at the jail, about which we will be reporting in the near future.
The visitor stated that they attempted to visit Fitzpatrick last Wednesday and were” turned away. They said ‘the phones were shut down.’” However, the report today from Fitzpatrick to the visitor is that the jail staff “shut the phones down because they did not want the word getting out that an inspection was in progress.”
The Post & Email asked, “Do you think they got advance warning of this inspection?” and the visitor answered, “Yes, they knew about it ahead of time.”
