Your quiche or your life?

Folks, what are we to make of this story? http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/042408/geo_271458525.shtml The ink on the hip-pocket, not-so-grand jury's propaganda piece on jail operations is hardly dry when this comes out. What do y'all make of the timing? Is it possible that heretofore, this gang of seven thugs was useful to the jailers in maintaining order and selective intimidation, but now, with July fast approaching, BTW found the seven more useful as sacrifices to his propaganda machine? Anyone have any inside poop on this?
