Could have saved a lot of money had they just repaired the old jail.

Someone should have gone to jail for letting it blow up to begin with. They were warned after the 2012 flood. Another cover up like Willie Jr drinking anti freeze under a house a week before he was to testify against WD. Escambia will never change.

well, with the people unwilling to follow the rules and insisting on breaking the law, this type of place is necessary. with property tax almost double from last year, the county has a group that must be living like kings, is all i can think. i hope some of it trickles down to the normal county employees, like our law enforcement and first responders. i wish i could stop wearing this mask, there seems to be no faith in the vax, tho, so mask is not ending any time soon. the biz of dealing with the criminals is not going to stop growing, bcuz there are those that will not go to work and do the hard way of making a buck like the rest of us.

It is a shame that the county and counties all across America need to build multi million dollar jail facilities. I would much rather see this kind of money being spent in our communities to improve lives and to enhance our nieghborhoods. But the fact is there are people who have trouble coexisting with the general population without crossing that line. Normally it wouldn’t bother me what others do but their blatant disregard for other’s safety requires extreme measures.

Now juveniles can tell their friends they are in jail since the juvenile center is in the jail building.

Glad to see the Sheriff at the ceremony, wonder when he will take the jail over from the inept county commission.

I agree with mnon… build more prisons and jails to put the criminals. All this crime has got to stop. Make all violent felonies a mandatory life in prison. Start locking these goons up.and throw away the key.
