Christian County Jail Needs Upgrades

It’s no secret the Christian County Jail needs renovations and upgrades. 

 

Sheriff Bruce Kettlekamp says that the jail is overcrowded. 

Sheriff Kettelkamp says that a failed referendum was designed to help renovate and upgrade the jail. 

The county is bringing in a nationally renowned jail expert to assess the jail. He will report his findings to the Christian County Board of Commissioners in their October meeting. 

Ultimately, Sheriff Kettelkamp says that they are handling the situation as is until the S.O. can receive more support. 

The jail expert will present his findings at the Oct. 18 board meeting. 

 

Sheriff Kettelkamp appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
