BACKGROUND
The jail population for August and September 2018 exceeded operational capacity (526) daily. As a result, inmates were shipped to the following counties: Mecklenburg, Sampson, and Transylvania. Inmates were housed between 1-30 days. Total cost by months is as follows: August $54,332.98 and September $58,150. 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.
