Progress continues at a steady pace at the new Saline County Jail, and with five months to go before it’s expected to be complete, the county continues its recruiting efforts to staff it. County Administrator Phillip Smith-Hanes shared a project update this week, with an appeal to the public for ongoing recruiting efforts. Much of recent discussions among county officials about the new jail facility has been about the Sheriff’s Office’s ability to fully staff certain parts of the building. The department has been shorthanded at its current facility on 10th Street, and plans for the new facility included additional programming for inmates.
