July 14, 2007GBI looking into inmate labor use on Cumberland
By Gordon Jackson, The Times-Union
KINGSLAND - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has launched an investigation into the use of inmate labor by the Camden County Sheriff's Office on Cumberland Island National Seashore. -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
Stephen Kelley, district attorney for the Brunswick Judicial Circuit, said Friday he asked for the investigation.
"I have requested the GBI to look into the use of inmate labor on Cumberland Island and the sheriff [Bill Smith] has agreed to fully cooperate," he said.
Kelley said he can't comment on whether the scope of the investigation will go beyond the use of inmate labor at the national seashore. He said it would be inappropriate to discuss the investigation further.
The use of inmate labor on the island is also being investigated by regional officials with the National Park Service, prompting island superintendent Jerre Brumbelow to take a personal leave of absence. Officials at the park service's regional office in Atlanta said they don't know when their investigation will be completed.
GBI officials refused to comment on the investigation.
The Camden County Sheriff's Office cited the GBI's investigation Friday as the reason for denying a Times-Union open records request regarding their inmate labor program.
