    From September 16, 2013 EffinghamRadio:

    The Effingham County Board Monday approved a settlement with two county jail correctional officers who had been dismissed and then were re-employed, but wanted back pay for the time they were not employed.
    The Board approved the settlement with Correctional Officers Justin Finfrock and Jeremy Kyle, agreeing to pay each of them $7,712 before deductions. The two were not employed from June 23 to September 1.
    County Board Chairman Jim Niemann said they reached agreement to to re-employ the two as “part of a compromise we reached.”

    These two were dismissed because they were caught having sex with female inmates at the Effingham County Jail. Evidently, proper due process was not provided by the Sheriff’s Office to these two. The facts surrounding their dismissal were not in dispute, just the paperwork. The recently dismissed Chief of Police, Jeff Fuesting, hired Jeremy Kyle as a full-time police officer before he was booted out of office. Good riddance!

    I suppose Edgar County has more principled law enforcement than Effingham County. I wonder if the paperwork regarding the facts and circumstances of their dismissal are public records. Since the taxpayers footed the bill for this, I should think so. But this is Effingham County….

    Registry isn’t very fair, people do changer and most have mental disabilities who never received help, from family or society. How about a registry for police who commits a crime no matter if they are still a cop or not. How about a registry for thieves, child neglect, assault, batter etc. etc. maybe even a registry for people who take their fat ass kids to Mc Donald’s. If someone serves their time, pays their dues then leave it that and assign them a class or councilor etc. 17 yr. old girls lying and ruining a 19 yr. old’s life or even a guy in his twenties is common. Children lie all the time and people suffer. DCFS is like the SS but just against men.

    Why would any convicted sex offender (who is sane and not on the run) NOT register? All that is accomplished by failing to do so is to subject him / her self to further prosecution and severe consequences.
