KC Starts Moving Inmates To New Regional Jail
August 4th, 2009
The first Kansas City prisoners were transferred Friday to the new regional jail operated by Jackson County MO, as reported by the Kansas City Star.
Earlier Friday, Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders and city officials said the new Regional Correctional Center would improve public safety and save the city up to $1.6 million a year. In coming days, the city will close its old jail, the Municipal Correctional Institution. Police, city and county officials have yet to strike a deal to use part of the new regional center for city detainees. But Chuck Eddy in the city manager’s office said a meeting should occur soon.
