JC County jail conditions under fire at commissioners meeting
The Clermont County Community Council pressed county leaders to improve jail conditions citing aging facilities and lack of recreation. Attorney John Woliver requested a jail inspection but Sheriff Van Camp refused citing prior inspections and legal controls. Commissioner Tim Hogan said tax leans and failed grants delayed new facilities, though a $2.347 million EDA grant is sought to build and renovate.
