An inmate positioned his bed, also known as a "boat", partially in a closet in a converted recreation room at the Kenton County Jail in Covington, Ky., on Tuesday, December 4, 2007. Like many in Kentucky, the Kenton County jail is seriously overcrowded, and yet the state contracts with it to hold state prison inmates because there are no available beds in the state prisons. Jailer Terry Carl is concerned enough about the crowding that he has been slowly reducing his involvement with the state's contract-prisoner program. Photo by David Stephenson | Staff 4599
