Letter to the editor: Reasonable jail plan

To the editor:

Our county commissioners deserve credit for finding an affordable compromise to correct our overcrowded jail. Our lack of space results in inhumane crowding and shorts space for counseling, training and family contact. Next we need to deal with reforming our incarceration guidelines to more intelligently keep people out of jail when possible, working and with family.

George Smith,

Lawrence
