Lorain County Jail earns perfect inspection score
The Lorain County Jail received a 100 percent rating on its annual inspection by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Bureau of Adult Detention. The facility, a full-service jail with 422 inmate capacity, met 29 standards with several changes since last year. Improvements cited include a Special Needs unit for in-house mental health, a negative airflow room, three new defibrillators, an inmate classroom, a video courtroom, expanded Catholic ministries, a new security control system, and an enhanced camera system. Sheriff’s staff, led by Captain Jim Drozdowski, credited proactive leadership and funding access for the gains.
