Joyce is now being held in the Cerro Gordo County Jail.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
If somebody has been convicted of escaping there, why do they send them back. I seen on NIM Felix Arp escaped there again this week also.
One might wonder if having Beje Clark isn’t a threat to the community. They let dangerous people just walk out of the place. Why does Mason City let them get away with this?
Put these guys in prison where they belong. Why put them in a position where they can walk away.
Probably wanted to get another neck tatoo!
