Iowa City jail swap eyed to ease crowding near courthouse
A September 2004 discussion suggested the county buy Sabin administration building from the Iowa City school district and swap it for the U S Post Office parking lot south of the courthouse. The plan, two to three years from now, aims to co locate jail and justice functions and free court space. Public Defender Richard Klausner called the exchange ideal noting proximity would cut transport costs and address overcrowding.
