The county council will hold the first reading and a public hearing on transferring jail control to the sheriff on Sept 21. Several members divided on the change with supporters citing expertise gaps in law enforcement and detractors wary of consolidating detention operations.
The nine member County Council holds the final say on who runs the Aiken County Detention Center. Michael Hunt says he and others are ready to operate the jail if asked, but will accept the council's decision. They will support whichever path is chosen, including sheriff or administrator oversight, and will offer current jail staff jobs.
Aiken County Solicitor Barbara Morgan says council aims to address administrative concerns in the jail system. Detention Center director John Rowley notes he has not been told the rationale for a transfer of control and defends his management, asserting he has acted professionally and would respond if formally challenged.
