LITTLE ROCK, AR – Funeral arrangements have been made for a correctional officer who was stabbed to death in eastern Arkansas last week.

Cpl. Barbara Ester’s funeral will be held Saturday at Lee High School in Marianna. The Arkansas Department of Correction says the employee trust will cover the funeral expenses as well as provide $3,000 to the family for miscellaneous expenses.

Those who are interested in making a donation in her honor may do so to the Arkansas Association of Correctional Employees Trust (AACET), PO Box 1570, Cabot, AR 72023.

Attorneys. Lord there the whole problem. They furnish us with all the criminals. It's a sad world when people hold a person responsible for some others action. The only people that make our prosecutors, judges, and yes even Presidents of these United States. Sadder even yet. They are the ones that are qualified to know the loop holes. They could fix them if inclined. Saddest of all. We the people are going to have to raise up from our self centered worlds and force them to do that. How? By studying all the people running for office that we vote for. Then when their in and do something that doesn't appear above board let them know. E-mail, call their offices, Openly protest if that's what it comes to. The thing that makes me want to cry is the fact that people want to cry about the government. We are a government of the people. By the people. For the people. So isn't crying about government kind of like crying about yourself not doing your part. I loved JFK. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country. If you can't stand by it, fight for it, and support it with your whole heart it may be time to leave it. We need to demand there be a death sentence in this case. Then follow through and see it carried out.

Death Penalty will lower the crime rate...however i'm not sure i want the Government to decide...i say this if you break the law then you get shot on the spot...but then the cops would have to shoot themselves...kill all the lawyers...well then who'd be there when you want to quit work and sue the government....i have a solution...less government in our lives not more...

Murderers, rapists and child perv's should already be separated from everyone else in prisons. And they should be ones like they run in Newport. Wonder why the woman's prison is so much worse than the men's? Yep it's the south.

Is the state going to even bother filing charges against this human waste?

What a slap in the face. The person responsible for her death was "moved to a supermax facility". He is in prison for killing someone, then he kills a correction officer, yet he is still breathing. I say try his sorry butt for the murder, give him the death penalty and carry it out. When will Arkansas stop being a coward and a wuss and say to hell with this bs lawsuit and start carrying out the sentences these people were given? Am I the only one that is sick and tired of feeding and housing these killers, rapists, drug dealers and child molestors?
