No Money For Old Jail Fails To Pass In York County
York County Commissioners refuse jail repairs and keep the cell block closed while the front processing area remains in use. Sheriff Richard Dutremble opposes full closure. 15 prisoners moved to Cumberland County Jail after weekend damage estimated at 2000 dollars. An AG investigation is requested into weekend disturbances and the death of a 40 year old inmate. The action aims to pressure for a new jail funded by bonds approved 11 years ago, now costing 300000 more.
