Commissioners Vote to Renew Jail Transfer Contract
Some Wichita County inmates could soon find themselves housed in Montague County. This morning, Wichita County commissioners voted to renew a contract allowing transfers, all to help ease overflow of inmates. The transfers cost about $35 a day per inmate. This summer, the jail saw a record number of inmates with some even having to sleep on the floor. At that time, Sheriff David Duke told us building a larger book-in unit could alleviate some of the over-flow because 70 percent of inmates are released with in three days.
