The Weber County sheriff is asking voters for up to $98 million in bond funds to help with growing mental health and drug addiction needs.
The medical wing of the Weber County Jail is designed for six people. The request is to build a new medical wing to add capacity for 48 additional patients."We have a 32-man unit that should house 32 individuals. Right now, it houses between 14 and 15 individuals that are mentally ill because they can't be housed with other people," Chief Deputy Phillip Reese explained. "It overflows often into our booking area, which isn't safe. It's not how it's designed to be.
The area for counseling is a very narrow cubicle. It's why Sheriff Ryan Arbon is asking voters to approve up to $98 million. The bond proposal includes a new justice center where some 225 work-release inmates can stay and outside resources can come to help prepare inmates for reentry into the community.
