Clermont County Court to Add Prisoner Holding Cell
Deputy inspector Tom Quallen says a proposed 270 square foot holding cell for up to 20 prisoners would be built at the back of the county court building near the annex library. Talk-through windows would let attorneys speak with clients and keep bystanders safe while guards manage multiple prisoners. Approval from the State Board of Corrections and Rehabilitations and cost estimates from county officials are required before construction can start this fall.

Bond by Debit Cards Hoped To Free Patrol Time
Lt. Clifford L. Henson of the Batavia Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol urges using Visa and Mastercard to post bond for minor traffic offenses. He says the system would keep patrolmen on duty and speed court processing, noting high out-of-state arrests on 1 275 and limited county funds for charge accounts. The Clermont Clerk of Court and Russell Simmons oppose, citing banks’ unwillingness to waive charges and state statute limits. Henson cites success at Zanesville, Warren, and Franklin counties, and plans to share details with Muskingum County.
