Barney treats jail inmates right

To the editor:

I am writing today to express my support for Bruce Barney for sheriff. If anyone can make a difference, I truly believe Bruce Barney can and will. Bruce is one of those people who, whether in uniform or out, always treats everyone he meets with dignity and respect. That’s why, when I heard Bruce was running for sheriff, I couldn’t think of anyone better.

Bruce takes pride in what he does, usually with a smile on his face. Bruce has respect for the uniform and doesn’t let his position and authority dictate his compassion. He stands up for what he believes in. He wants to see people succeed and is truly disappointed when he sees someone fail time and time again. He makes time to give you pep talk as you walk out the door, hoping this time you’ll get it right, because he truly wants what’s best for you. He goes above and beyond for his family, friends and everyone around him.

How do I know all of this? You see, I got to know Bruce Barney because I was incarcerated on more than one occasion. Never once did he treat me with anything but respect, no matter what the charges were. I can’t thank the “Barnster” enough for all he did to help me understand that the life I was living wasn’t a good one and gave me hope for the future.

If anyone can make a difference and a positive change, Bruce Barney can, Lord knows we need it.
