Oklahoma: Jail may be on December ballot

Thu, Feb 11 2010 — Source: The Edmond Sun

Oklahoma County voters could be asked in December to fund a new Oklahoma County Jail, District 3 County Commissioner Ray Vaughn said Wednesday at a meeting of the Edmond Noon Exchange Club. County Commissioners have until October to decide the location in order to have a ballot initiative this year, he said. The U.S. Department of Justice issued a report in 2008 that the jail is understaffed and overcrowded. Several million dollars’ worth of settlement have been paid by the government due to substandard conditions.
