Overcrowding Strains Aiken County Detention Center
Aiken County's 435 Wire Road detention center, opened in 2002, faces crowding as ADP climbs toward its 517 capacity. Officials cite bond refusals, rising violent crime, drug activity, and longer stays, with female inmates now facing higher charges and longer detentions, prompting calls for new housing units. Funding is tied to a capital tax measure and potential bonds.
