...Chief Huff is still making room for townsfolk like Big Earl in his jail. Back in 1992, Big Earl was driving a car when the voices in his head told him the police were after him again. He rammed into a wall, pinning and killing a man. Last year he walked up to a utility repairman and threatened to kill him for no reason. Each time, Earl has come to the city jail to await an opening at the state mental hospital. Huff knows Earl by now and has compassion for him. He remembers how, when...
Forever is doing well because the Cassitys realized before anyone else in their glacially changing industry that many Americans would love to have their own A&E Biography. And not just "the terminally trendy," as a reporter described Forever's clients.

Instead, Big Earl has jammed his foot in the toilet, flooding the concrete floor. To lure him out, they have offered...
Behind a surgical mask to filter the odor, police chief Willie Huff tells two officers in latex gloves to use riot shields and ease Big Earl to the floor while the others wrap blankets around him and slide him outside. A tall man, Huff cautiously leads the charge, clutching Earl, hoping not to hurt him and praying not to get sued. He knows mental patients don't belong in small-town jails, but where else can they go? What else...
