Prosecutor clears Bluefield jail of illegal releases
Mercer County Prosecuting Attorney's Office found in mid December that Bluefield City Jail did nothing improper when an inmate serving a short sentence was allowed periodic releases for health reasons. Judge John R. Frazier had requested the review after learning the prisoner had been freed occasionally during a longer suspended term. Prosecutor William Sadler said jail staff indicated releases were for health or good behavior, not illegal, and advised future rulings be coordinated with prosecutors or circuit judges. The case highlights jail policy amid ongoing state questions about how long counties can keep prisoners outside the regional system.
