Build a Bigger Jail?

Inmates at the Kootenai County Jail watch television on Monday. Kootenai County is placing two measures on the November ballot to expand the jail using increased sales tax.

“The county has been juggling space problems for years as its 325-person jail is regularly pushed to capacity. On Monday morning, 311 inmates filled its chambers, but that doesn’t mean 14 beds were available. An additional 11 inmates were being housed at facilities outside the county.” http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/sep/15/push-for-larger-jail-back/
