The Fulton County, Ga., Jail on Friday was more than 800 inmates over a proposed federal agreement to ease overcrowding, with no immediate solution to fix the problem in sight.

The jail and two annexes held 3,087 inmates, and 74 inmates were housed in leased cells at the Alpharetta City Jail, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. A proposed consent agreement calls for a maximum of 2,250 in the main jail and 300 in the two annexes.

After the Fulton County Commission approves the agreement, it will go to U.S. District Judge Marvin Shoob. The city and county have discussed using some of the empty cells at the Atlanta Municipal Jail for Fulton inmates, as well as cells in the city's former municipal courthouse. Freeman has also proposed sending inmates to south Georgia facilities, although none of those plans have been finalized.

The draft of the proposed agreement sets minimum staffing and maximum inmate population levels at the jail. It also requires specific renovations that will require 300 inmates to be moved while improvements are made.

A court-appointed monitor will be named to oversee whether the county is complying with the order after it is signed. Stephen Bright, director of the Southern Center for Human rights, sued the county over jail conditions and helped draft the consent order. He called conditions at the jail "troubling."
