JAIL: Use extra space to expand

| April 28, 2010 10:00 PM

Has anyone ever checked out the possibility of using that huge empty unfinished part of the current jail to house prisioners? It was originally supposed to be for judges, but was never completed. At one time they wanted to move DMV in there, but parking wasn't enough.  Looks like they could finish it with holding cells cheaper than hauling them to Lewiston.

 I think the trade school they are proposing for the prairie is a great idea. They should give students a lot more of that kind of schooling in high school. A lot of kids won't go on to college and need skills to earn a living.
