Ask the detective
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Lt. Steve: Why are some of the arrested prisoners taken to Doraville Jail and other to Fulton County Jail?
Felony arrests go to Fulton County Jail and misdemeanor arrests go to Doraville Jail. We have two jail contracts. Doraville is our holding facility where customers can relax before making bail. We also have a contract with Erwin County, near Perry, Georgia, for extended-stay customers.
Lt. Steve: What is the point spread on the Patriots-Giants Super Bowl?
13 ½ I think.
Lt. Steve: How do you check your credit?
There are three major credit-reporting agencies: Trans Union, Equifax, and Experian. As a Georgia resident, you can obtain a free one at least once annually. Take advantage of it. There’s a lot of information on it so just go to your search engine and start looking around or check their websites.
Lt. Steve: What is nuclear fusion? In physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple atomic particles join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Iron and nickel nuclei have the largest binding energies per nucleon of all nuclei, sort of like the New York Yankee’s payroll, and therefore are the most stable. The fusion of two nuclei lighter than iron or nickel generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than iron or nickel absorbs energy; vice-versa for the reverse process, nuclear fission, or NF, pronounced (nuff.)

Steve, A correction about the credit reports. You can get two credit reports per year from each of the reporting agency’s if you are a Georgia resident. You can go to annualcreditreport.com and do this for free. Also you can get your credit score from them for around $10.
