BACKGROUND
The jail population for May and June 2019 exceeded operational capacity (526) daily. As a result, inmates were shipped to the following counties: Brunswick, Hoke, Mecklenburg, Polk, Sampson, and Transylvania. Inmates were housed between 1-30 days. The total cost for May and June is $52,260. 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.
