Overbuilding Jailspace Weighs Heavy in County Gamble
Franklin County commissioners debate a planned jail expansion as a potential revenue source while warning against overbuilding. Davis cites crowding, with up to 80 inmates, and projects a need for 150 daily inmates in 25 years. Newton, a former administrator, cites Butler County jail studies and timing to three years for construction. Stottlemire seeks a larger facility to attract other counties’ prisoners, while Waymire warns of wasted capacity if demand does not materialize.
