A display of the Ten Commandments in a new county jail in Minnesota upset some visitors, with one claiming it was the local government showing its 'authoritarian' leanings.
A 2-story display of the Ten Commandments discovered on recent tours of a new county jail in Minnesota is drawing criticism from unsettled visitors, according to reports. The new display, along with other religious quotes appearing on the walls of the new Itasca County jail in Duluth, Minnesota, has come under fire by visitors who toured the new $75 million jail last week, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
Grand Rapids resident Dana Butler said the displays at the new facility made her 'tremble,' according to the Star Tribune. 'The whole time I was thinking if I were in here, it would be very clear to me that I was not in a safe place,' she said. Grand Rapids resident Brian Vroman told the Star Tribune that the quotes seem like another way for the county government to show its 'authoritarian' leanings.
