TEXAS - Nueces County Judge Loyd Neal expects to begin negotiations with the U.S. Marshals Service next week in hopes of securing more money to house federal prisoners at the county jail and facilitate their stay in private prisons. After spending millions to fix the problems with the Nueces County Jail that led to the removal of federal prisoners in June 2006, the county filed an initial request in January seeking the return of the prisoners with a rate increase. The county wants to recoup as much as $61.49 per inmate per day to house prisoners at the county jail, up from the $45.15 rate negotiated in 1991. Neal also is negotiating additional county compensation for two private detention facilities owned by Louisiana-based LCS Corrections Services. Read more.
