The move is temporary and prisoners could be moved back in soon if repairs are completed as anticipated, said
Buell said early Thursday that an inspection was made after a couple of inmates were shocked because of electrical problems. The inmates were not seriously injured, but the incident did trigger an inspection.
Buell said county officials decided to move the inmates to make the repair work quicker for the electrical contractor. There was no state order to move them, only to make the repairs, she said.
A state inspector "found some issues that needed to be repaired," she said. "The anticipated date for all this to be complete is July 24."
County Mayor
Inmates have been moved to jails in other counties for the time being, Cleek said.
Moving the inmates during the repairs is faster, safer and more cost-effective than leaving them in
