Sandoval County moves to ban jail tobacco use
Sandoval County commissioners will vote to ban tobacco products on jail grounds in Bernalillo at 6 p.m. Thursday. If approved, inmates could not use or possess tobacco while staff may only have it in the employee parking lot. The measure aims to create a healthier environment and reduce inmate health care costs, with supporters noting secondhand exposure would drop and opponents warning of tough changes for inmates.
