Too close to schools @ either location. Old Soccer complex sounds good to me. Central location and near the interstate with lots of motels/resturants for visitors needing to visit the jail. No basement.... If it comes to the Molino or Cantonment area I would think that property value would go down and people wouldn’t want to move out that way. Too close to schools @ either location.

There have been way too many prisoner escapes in Molino already! Are the citizens of this are secure enough to believe those patrolling/working the jail wont let more escapes happen!?! BY ALL MEANS let's waste MORE tax dollars because next would be adding buses for extended bus routes out this way! Confidence? NOPE! They'll do what they want regardless of what the community says - **Also, NOT ENOUGH police patrol this area! If so - they would make more money for the county by issuing tickets for the semi's that race down 95A, 196, & Molino Rd! Speed limit of 45 mean 55 & 50 (on Molino Rd) means 60!!! KEEP SEMIs to 97 & 29!!! Did anyone move to the country for peace of mind and tranquility!?!?! Does it seem logical to place the 4-H facility and a jail less than 10 miles from each other?

Has anybody else noticed the amount of cops north of nine mile lately? It's ridiculous . I understand that Aliya bad things happen up here but when you put the amount of cops up here that there has been recently they start getting anise and almost harassing . But if they put the jail up here every fifth car going down 29 will be a sherrif or city cop. There are only 4 ways to access Molina and that's 29 97 297 or Beulah road. I believe they know exactly where there going to build it and that will be in our area somewhere. Then all of the county is under their close watchfull eye The sherrif and his pals are trying to get the jail moved to Molina/cantonment because if they do it there won’t be any gaps in their patrolling .

Yes its low land but that is an easy fix with dirt and drainage. It's a 1/2 way point between north, south, east, and west areas of town. No close housing. They still could use the existing land for future expansion or maybe a training area \ transition jail for ones being released back in public. For the one's in charge of building \ construction remember that the low bid is not always the best way. low bidders usually mean short cuts or workers that that fly by the seat of their pants to get it done.

Super site sounds likes the best,unless the county wants the EAST SIDE of 29 and 196 ,I own 5 ares there.guess that's a conflict of thinking here.tho it would work if I was s commissioner.

The current location is in the southernmost parts of the county. When an officer from the north end has to take an inmate to jail, he's off of his patrol for an easy 3 hours, leaving the already undermanned area...defenseless. If it's put in the middle of the county, there won't be any more gas used, but a lot less time spent. I think it would make more sense to locate it in the so called commerce park in Cantonment.
