The sheriff says the detention center, which opened three years ago, was at capacity on...
Auxier said the arrest rate and jail population figures used in the jail’s planning were much lower than the rates under his office. That has left the detention center ill-equipped to handle a general rise in population and the increased arrests Auxier says his department makes.
A “Band-Aid” solution is incoming for the detention center in the form of a 51-bed expansion on the jail’s property, bringing the total up to 153 beds. Auxier said the jail, while built with some expansion in mind, eventually will need to expand even further to accommodate the county’s needs in the future. He said the current expansion should be 96 beds as opposed to 51 to match the area’s projected growth.
The current expansion is set to break ground as soon as next month. Construction is projected to take 10 to 14 months, depending on possible delays due to unforeseen circumstances. Auxier said Kendall County is not the only area wrestling with inadequate accommodations, as many jails in booming areas transfer inmates nearby to control overpopulation.
