The Cost of Adult Detention Facilities
Examines full detention costs, Sheriff-only reporting, Marsh Creek utilization and separate CAF program accounting through six findings and six recommendations. Costs and utilization are jury calculations/findings, not independently verified figures. Sheriff rejects closure and separate CAF accounting. Its response labelled R4 answers an unrelated denial-reasons prompt. Court-posted Board document is visibly DRAFT and is linked only as supplemental, not audited as a final response.
