Voters urged to rethink jail expansion in Douglas County

It cites 2016 per inmate costs and a projected 163 million dollar expansion over 20 years, urging focus on mental health and addiction treatment outside jail and highlighting successful alternatives in Johnson County Iowa and other regions. Justice Matters paid ad notes Brennan Center submission date April 2 2018.
