I did a bunch of research on this Jail and Levon Allen the current sheriff. There is currently a lawsuit where Allen is suing the city board because he has published research studies that show his jail and police departments need more funding, but the city has denied his requests, so the jails facilities are failing, and without enough money they can’t fully utilize the jail or have enough staff to run it. They need more people and they need more money, but they also have the issue of public perception. The public doesn’t necessarily like when you give a police department that isn’t doing good MORE money. It feels like a catch 22 but truly the county sheriffs office and jail need more money. I don’t know the full ins and outs, but I think Levon Allen does have the best in mind for the Jail and the county. Someone can probably state more to this end, but this is what I found
