They see it as sort of putting the inmates in charge of the jail.

Long before the new jail is built, with the displacement of the inmates from the stockade, we are going to be at overcapacity. So, we are going to ask the board (county commissioners) to look at alternatives to incarceration.

That approach is like letting the inmates run the jail. Reviews like this should be done independently of departments.

They should all go to jail. It?s just going to make everyone miserable.

So therefore, if they were really bad, the court could put them in jail from one to five years.

You, the selectmen are in charge of the overall assessment of properties.
