| Decatur, Alabama. Home to an overflowing City and County Jail; home of State Work Release; a pending Corrections Drug Treatment Facility; and a short, scenic drive away from Capshaw Prison. There's a lovely nuclear power plant on the way. |

| Karen Tipton's murder has become the biggest news event in Decatur since Mayor Guntharp committed murder. Bigger than the judge that got caught with 100 pounds of marijuana and Guntharp's murder weapon. It upstaged the Iraq War here. |
| The Tipton case, as they call it, is in its fifth year of small-town Bible belt rumors and good-old-boy shennanigans. It is a case study in absurdity. |
| Decatur is a strange place. |
