CALIFORNIA - Dozens of officials from Napa County’s criminal justice system gathered on Monday to adopt an innovative new approach to reducing crime. The plan allows for the limited expansion of the Napa County jail while focusing efforts on treatment, and not just punishment, of criminals. The Napa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Monday to expand the already overcrowded jail by 89 beds and to keep the facility at its current downtown Napa site. The expansion will allow the county to meet its 2025 projected need of 360 beds. Currently, the jail can handle 277 people. County officials say construction will be complete in the next three to five years, and will include central facilities large enough to allow for the expansion to 500 beds. Read more.
