ELLSWORTH — A nonprofit that helps inmates recover from substance abuse could be allowed back in the Hancock County Jail starting Friday, seven months after the agency lost access over its support for Black Lives Matter.
County Commissioner Bill Clark, Healthy Acadia Executive Director Elsie Flemings and Sheriff Scott Kane met Monday morning.
Clark said Monday afternoon that as a result of Monday morning’s meeting, a memorandum agreement is being drafted and should be finalized by Friday.
