Program To Transport Inmates Could Save Money

HOLLIDAYSBURG - The Blair County Prison Board is investigating a state-run program that could help save the Sheriff's Department time and money when it comes to prisoner transportation.

Sheriff Mitchell Cooper said Thursday that his deputies must drive inmates housed in state correctional facilities to and from Blair County many times each week. The trips require the use of a county sheriff's vehicle and normally involve two officers.

Many of the prisons are hours away from Hollidaysburg. For instance, the State Correctional Institution at Albion is in Erie County, at least a 3-hour one-way trip to bring the inmate to Blair County for a hearing.

Cooper learned Thursday from Blair County Prison Warden Michael Johnston that the state Department of Corrections has a program where it would transport to SCI Cresson any inmate who must be returned to Blair County from his home institution.

Sheriff's deputies would then have to drive to Cresson to pick him up, a 40-minute trip.

    Is this for real? I thought this can’t be, but if this is the case, then I’ll be minimizing the use of my credit cards. I’m tired of paying high credit card interest rates. Hence, not all consolidation agreements for debt, like credit card debt consolidation is created equal – the idea behind consolidation is to lower your payments and pay everything off. The hitch is that if you're paying down high interest credit cards, it makes great sense, but low interest debt may end up with a higher rate of interest on a consolidation arrangement than just paying it off yourself. The idea is that you have to pick your battles, and you also might want to confer with a debt management professional prior to consolidating debt.
