County Jail Costs To Be Studied

LIBERTY, Ind. -- Union County commissioners will call on an Indianapolis firm to help determine the impact of a $3 million jail project on property and income tax rates.

The Union County Council agreed Thursday commissioners should take the next step in the process toward a new jail.

"We've talked about this ever since I've been on the council," said Councilman Russel Rude, who's serving his 18th year. "If we need it, we should see what it costs."

Union County's 30-year-old, 10-bed jail doesn't meet jail standards and is always over capacity. On Thursday, it held 20 prisoners, with the overflow sleeping on the floor.
