Jail reports phone and commissary revenue; commissioners praise MRT rehabilitation efforts
Summary
Jail administration reported phone revenue of $15,300.22 and commissary receipts of $3,365.44; commissioners used the report to commend Lieutenant Cook and the county's MRT rehabilitation program for providing resources and statewide recognition.
Ron, the jail representative, reported the jail's recent fee and revenue figures and appealed for concern about inmate welfare over the holidays: "The phone revenue was $15,300.22, and the commissary was $3,365.44." He also reported other fee lines (comp fee $162; offender fees $150) as presented in the meeting packet and asked attendees to keep inmates and officers in their prayers given the increased suicide risk this time of year.
A commissioner praised Lieutenant Cook and the jail's MRT program for its rehabilitative work, saying he had followed the program on social media and observed benefits for participants: "I applaud you for that." The commissioner said rehabilitation must accompany enforcement and noted the program is gaining statewide and national recognition.
The jail's financial figures were included in the meeting packet and the reports were approved by the committee.
