The League speaks on the jail

The regional League of Women Voters operation will present a study of the Guilford County's jail system at tomorrow's commissioners meeting, according to a news release that appeared in my inbox today.

Links to the study are at the upper-left-hand corner of the League's home page.

It seems that the group has been working on this thing for a couple years. Its recommendations include renovating the existing Greensboro jail, building a new one near the downtown courthouse, and expanding jail-alternative programs.

Commissioners are advancing all three of those plans, though funding for the new jail isn't in place yet.

More jail stuff here and here.
