The Honorable Judge Challeen was on a jail study group that was formed in the late 1980's. That study (by the way that was 1 of 3 studies that all indicated Winona County needed a new jail) recommended that the county build a new jail.

Not buying gas for one day is a token gesture that demonstrates one fact:
people won't do it. The few who do boycott one day will buy gas the day
after. How silly. If we want to make a real difference, we will change our
lifestyle as best we can to stop using so much darned gas. Why can't the USA
import certain cars made in Europe, such as the Volkswagen Lupo which gets
about 70 miles per gallon of diesel?
New Jail? There's another issue. Has anyone looked deep into the issue to
ask why we need more jail space? Who are we jailing and why? I would suggest
Dennis Challeen's book, "Winning at Losing" (ISBN 0-9749018-0-6) for
insight.
