Interlocal Agreement - Cabarrus County Detention Center
body
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dorothy Thomas, Union County Sheriff’s Office, Operations Manager, 704-283-3578
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the County Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement substantially consistent with this agenda item.
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Union County Detention Center has recently been operating at or near its overall inmate population capacity. In a proactive effort to alleviate potential overcrowding, and to allow for proper classification of its current inmate population, the Union County Sheriff’s Office is requesting to enter into an agreement with the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office to house ten (10) Union County inmates in the Cabarrus County Detention Facility. As NC jail code does not allow a Detention Center to exceed its current designed inmate capacity, the temporary relocation of these inmates will allow for a reduction in our overall inmate numbers and will allow for the proper separation of multiple defendants charged with the same crime. As part of this agreement, Union County agrees to reimburse Cabarrus County $70 per day, per Union County inmate, and will cover all related, out-of-pocket expenses directly related to those inmates.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Union County will reimburse Cabarrus County $70 per day, per Union County inmate, and will cover all related, out-of-pocket expenses directly related to those inmates.
