An inmate slept on the floor of his unit in the Lincoln County Regional Jail in Stanford, Ky., on Thursday, December 6, 2007. The Lincoln County jail is one of many in Kentucky that are badly overcrowded but still contracted to hold state inmates by the Kentucky Department of Corrections, because there are no vacant prison beds. Aggravating matters, the Lincoln County jail is a 70-year-old building in poor condition.Photo by David Stephenson | Staff 4611
