Jail Projections Need to expand Alternative Sentencing by 2002 If Alternative Sentencing is expanded the jail will be sufficient until 2007 If changes are made to the system the jail may be adequate for a longer period of time Cost to increase the size of the jail estimated to be 60 million dollars Additional yearly jail operational costs estimated at 7.5 million dollars with a jail expansion of 250 beds
