State will begin pulling inmates from county jails in December, Raemisch says
State inmates will be removed from county jails in December if a new budget isn't passed, according to a letter Corrections Secretary Rick Raemisch sent today to sheriffs in 15 counties that have jail bed contracts with the state.
Raemisch also says that contracts will not be renewed for 2008.
The Division of Adult Institutions is studying how to absorb the 600 inmates currently housed in county facilities into the state prison system, Raemisch writes in the letter.
