BACKGROUND
The average jail population (male/female) in June 2017 was 644 and 628 in July. The total operating capacity is 526. Due to overcrowding, 16 inmates were shipped to Cherokee County, NC in late June to early July and housed between 7-10 days. 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.
