County to share jail population forecast with architects
Douglas County commissioners agreed a jail population forecast by Allen Beck should be forwarded to Treanor Architects to update the 2016 expansion concept. Beck’s study, funded at 5000 monthly in February, projects 241 beds by 2020 and 300 by 2040, with the pretrial release program accounting for the largest reductions. Interfaith group Justice Matters urged caution, noting the study covers only one initiative.
