BACKGROUND
The jail population for May, June, and July 2018 exceeded operational capacity (526) daily. As a result inmates were shipped to the following counties: Ashe, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, and Sampson. Inmates were housed between 1-30 days. Total cost by months is as follows: May $2,280 (adjusted Lincoln County invoice), June $67,660, and July $54,480. The Sheriff’s Office does not have funds allocated for this expense. It is our expectation that additional inmates will have to be shipped until the population subsides or the jail expansion is fulfilled.
