Lawmaker urges cuts to jail population and reforms
Mercer County officials note monthly jail costs from 114000 to 145000 with daily prisoner housing at 48.25. State funding cuts forced prison spending, prompting calls to reduce nonviolent incarcerations and expand PR bonds, day report, drug and veterans courts. Legislation may limit or scrap the parole board to speed release of eligible inmates. The 2020 legislative session begins January 8 and aims to curb jail costs while improving reentry supports.
