Gov. Haley Barbour is just following Mississippi tradition, his office says, when he frees killers working in his mansion. Four of them killed wives and girlfriends.

Citizens can feel secure knowing that the men in green and white stripes working on the road crews are not rapists or murderers. Mississippi law says that violent criminals are not eligible to participate in work programs outside prisons. But the law did not prevent the Mississippi Department of Corrections from assigning Bobby Hays Clark to work in the governor’s mansion in April 2004, even though he shot and killed his girlfriend eight years before. That choice assignment put him on the road to freedom.
