Aiken County Considers More Detention Officers amid Overcrowding
Detention Center staff expansion hinges on staffing survey by Dr. Earnest Archer after the 19 million facility opened June 23 2002 and now houses over 300 inmates daily. County administrator Clay Killian says hires depend on Archer analysis or possible state orders to relieve crowding. A 4.2 mill levy was approved to maintain services despite state budget cuts, with vehicle tax cuts to 6.5 percent by 2007 and annual .75 percent reductions.
