Jail crowding spurs county expansion plans in Linn County
Linn County Sheriff Jim Smith faces chronic jail crowding with about 48 beds for men and a few for women and juveniles. Plans contemplate basement expansion for 25-30 trusted prisoners, a second floor for female dormitories, or an elevated courthouse complex, with costs potentially reaching 10,000 dollars and a voter vote for projects over 25,000 dollars. Supervisors debate best site and method, including a county home enclosure, while weighing transport and staffing needs.
