  1. It turns out keeping people in custody who sell a pound of Heroin is a good way of insuring their court appearance, because the Jail and the Court are connected and they are escorted into the Court by a Jailer/Deputy! Their signature on a promise to appear (the same thing that people who are pulled over for speeding get) is not always valid and does not insure their appearance if they are in a host of trouble, and they decide to risk it.
