Poll: Expand Jail

• Wednesday Poll: Hucks Nation recommends that Kootenai County forget about a private contract for space to address jail overcrowding and … expand the jail. 70 of 234 respondents (29.91%) said the best way to relieve overcrowding at the jail is to expand the current site. 68 of 234 (29.06%) said the county should quit jailing minor offenders. 55 (23.%) said the county should run a jail bond. 23 (9.83%) said the county should do nothing — and continue to pack in prisoners like sardines. 15 (6.41%) said commissioners should try to win judicial confirmation approval again. 3 (1.28%) were undecided.
