Justified cools off with an episode that moves in circles [Recap: season 5, episode 6]

Here’s the problem I have with the “Ava in prison” storyline…why is she there? To my knowledge, she has yet to have been convicted of a crime. The allegation that she stabbed a county jailer is serious, but she would simply be moved into solitary at the jail to await trial, not transferred to the state prison. And where is the investigation of her alleged crime? The lawyer stated that the guard had left town which would not be encouraged if an investigation was ongoing. The entire plotline seems contrived and, even worse, cringeworthy rather than entertaining…
