GEORGIA - Sandy Springs has renewed a contract for housing its inmates in the Doraville city jail, which calls for a slightly increase in the daily fee. The city will pay $50 a day for each inmate temporarly locked up in Doraville, up from the existing $45 fee.

Willard told the City Council Monday it was an “attractive” agreement. Sandy Springs also is negotiating with the city of Smyrna for short-term housing of inmates.
