Jail adds beds to expand capacity and revenue
The county jail will add 21 beds by converting a classroom to dorms a double bunk in a work release area and nine extra bunks in single cells. The move increases inmate capacity to about 21 more than current space and aims to boost revenue as work release inmates pay up to $20 daily and the federal rate remains about $64.70 per inmate per day.
