County weighs new jail to curb overflow at Brownfield
In a Jan session, Butler said a new jail could be finished in 90 to 120 days after contracts. The current 14 bed top-floor facility is overflowing, risking a federal court outcome. Terry County paid over 83 thousand to house overflow inmates in 1997 and may open by August or September if plans proceed. County officials consider sites on county land west of Brownfield to minimize cost.
