Placeholder Image
There were more than 1,300 Warren County residents at some stage of the incarceration process during a one-day visit in March from detention specialist Bob Bass.Bass presented his findings to county officials this week during a Jail Oversight Committee meeting.“When we use this verbiage ‘correctional populations’ that’s put out there as an eye-opener,” Bass said. “There were 1,368 people actively involved in this county alone on the one day I was here. What that means is they’re in this jail, they’re in our custody, they’re on probation or parole, or in some kind of community corrections program.”Bass made a visit to Warren County Jail in March as part of a new state program to help corrections facilities stay in compliance.
