Overcrowding Increases Inmate Stress At Douglas County Jail
Undersheriff Gary Bunting notes jail overcrowding squeezes time in the common areas, delays for inmates across male and female pods, and a lack of on-site exercise facilities. About 60 inmates are regularly sent to other counties, and security classifications are mixed to fit cell space. Proposals for jail expansion and programming remain undecided as commissioners eye ballot language for a September or November vote.
