Town Not Affected By County Ruling
The Maricopa County attorney’s ultimatum requiring Scottsdale and nine other valley towns to pay 1.90 per day for county jail prisoners will not majorly affect budgets. Scottsdale currently pays Tempe 10 per day per town prisoner held in Tempe jail, with few prisoners sent to Phoenix county jail. Construction of a new Scottsdale municipal jail complex, housing town and county facilities, is nearly done and will start in fall, finishing by next March, ending outsourcing of prisoners to Tempe.
