BACKGROUND
The jail population for April exceeded 600 inmates and the total operating capacity is 526. Due to overcrowding, 15 inmates were shipped to Mecklenburg County April 17, 2018 and housed between 2-13 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.
