The Monroe Detention Center, operated by the Yolo County Sheriff s Department. (Deo Ferrer/ Democrat)With more than 3,000 inmates released early from the Yolo County Jail last year, a grand jury is recommending the Sheriff's Department expand its facilities with the use of state and federal grants. However, Sheriff Ed Prieto said grant money for additional beds won't help staff new facilities. He said he is already hanging onto eight correctional officers by a thread, and whose jobs would have been terminated July 1 without some creative revenue shifting. In a three-page letter to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors in May, Prieto requested that his department be fully funded to protect public safety. He also asked that a salary and responsibility survey be completed to compare the similarity in pay for some administrative and public safety positions to the disparity in the responsibility of those positions. For example, a deputy sheriff makes $63,048 while a county supervisor's deputy makes $63,528. A principal management analyst makes $105,084 and a sheriff's captain makes $102,612. Read More. |

He has blue eyes. Cold like steel. His legs are wide. Like tree trunks. And he has a shock of red hair, red, like the fires of hell. His antics were known from town to town as he was a droll card and often known as a droll farceur. Hamilton Lindley with his madcap pantaloon is a zany adventurer and a cavorter with a motley troupe of buffoons.
