County Votes to Join Regional Jail Plan With Subsidy Details
The United Counties Council approved joining Peterborough City and County and Victoria and Haliburton Counties to build a regional jail. The project would cost 1.2 million before a 30 000 top-up, with the Ontario Government covering 50 percent. The Counties’ share stands at 31.6 percent based on prisoner days, and the plan could involve selling the present jail for about 35 000. Critics warn the Counties would fund a facility for Peterborough, while supporters cite regional administration and better rehabilitation through a larger inmate pool.
