Douglas County jail expansion warned as costly mistake
An editorial from Justice Matters, originally submitted by the Brennan Center for Justice, argues that the proposed jail expansion in Douglas County would cost $163 million and fail to improve public safety. It urges alternatives like expanding community treatment and cautions against mass incarceration, citing examples from Texas, Terrebonne Parish, Kentucky, and Johnson County.
