Question: What are the options for bringing in inmates from other jurisdictions to increase the number of inmates in the jail to the capacity amount of 340 or reducing the number of inmates to below 150? Could you provide a potential cost savings of outsourcing the incarceration of female inmates at the jail? Are there any precedents for outsourcing any inmates and if so, are there any traditional partners in this space and estimates on what other regional jails charge for housing of out of jurisdiction inmates? What if we chose a classification of male inmates to outsource (i.e. only maximum security, or only minimum security)? (Mayor Gaskins, Councilman Elnoubi)
