The Champaign County Board and the public will have the opportunity on Thursday, January 19th at 7pm to hear from "The Jail Issues Committee" that has been "analyzing the current issues and concerns regarding the Champaign County Correctional Center/Satellite Jail Facility and making recommendations to the Champaign County Board," according to Board documents. The Committee is headed by Judge Difanis.
This is the third of three reports to the Board. Local activists have been concerned that county administrators and judicial officials want to expand the current jail capacity. Activists have focused on trying to pressure officials to spend more resources on crime prevention and alternatives to incarceration. |
The study session will take place at 7pm Thursday the 19th in the Lyle Shields Meeting Room, The Brookens Administrative Center, 1776 E. Washington Street, Urbana.
A full agenda complete with attachments on the background of the situation from the perspective of judicial officials is available at http://www.co.champaign.il.us/agendas#board |
