Jury subpoenas Jackson board members
Subpoenas reportedly will be served to all 14 Jackson County Board members to testify in the grand jury investigation into jail conditions. The grand jury met Tuesday and may reconvene July 1, with background information gathering for its annual jail report. The Illinois Department of Corrections urged a new facility to address overcrowding and separation issues. The county board has discussed buying property east of the courthouse for a potential public safety complex including the jail and sheriff, a plan Judge Richman questions for value and necessity.
