Cities strain county jail as closures push inmates inward
The Board of Supervisors heard Sheriff Carpenter warn that more jail demand hits the county as cities plan closures. Santa Barbara aims to exit jail duties next February sending about 300 prisoners monthly to the county facility, while Lompoc seeks monthly payments of 1500 plus costs. Santa Maria plans a holding unit by August 1 with capacity possibly rising to 40, and Carpinteria already houses prisoners in the county jail. Prisoners from Santa Maria may be moved to Goleta Valley for court appearances if its city jail closes.
