Safe & Constructive Detention

What combination of compensation, hiring incentives, and clinical staffing would reduce transport demands and improve reliable coverage at the jail?

The report finds shortages among detention staff and nurses, with on-duty deputies used for transports and no full booking-nurse coverage at the time of the tour. It recommends competitive wages and benefits and continued hiring incentives.

Why this matters

Adequate custody and clinical staffing affects daily safety, access to care, transport demands, and the facility's usable capacity.
