I think I must be a latent claustrophobiac. The prospect of being locked in a little room it’s impossible to get out of scares me more then the prospect of sharing a cell with big bubba.

Should have sweated it out until meal time.
Then he could have taken another guard hostage as well.

how does one lock himself in a jail cell ???

most need a key to lock them in the first place, and if its an 'auto lock' type mechanism, where were the cameras and duty officers that hafta man the controls ???

sounds fishy to me, and tonight is my volunteer night at the county jail...

In either case, mechanical or electric lock, maybe it was either hazing or he was being a dick and the other guys locked him in there to teach him a lesson.

note to self...never haze or lock up an armed man in a closet...

also would seem to be a no-no to have live arms in the housing area...

As a former Kentuckian, all I can say is that for a sheriff’s deputy in Kentucky, this isn’t all that surprising.
