CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Starting June 3 and into November, local and county officials across West Virginia will have the opportunity to discuss the state’s 10 regional jails.
The Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority has scheduled nine hearings to discuss jail operations, with an emphasis on containing costs. In the past, the meetings have been limited to Charleston.
By holding multiple meetings officials say they can discuss a broad range of issues, as well as more narrow-focus matters.
One meeting has already been conducted. The meeting in Logan attracted a number of court officials.
The June 3 session will be in Beckley. Others are planned in Romney, Martinsburg, Doddridge County, South Charleston, Flatwoods, Elkins, Moundsville and Barboursville.
They continue through Nov. 6.
