Twin Falls County wrapping up construction on jail addition

TWIN FALLS â It may not be a long-term solution, but the county is wrapping up construction on an addition to its jail that will alleviate some of the facilityâs overcrowding issues. Earlier this summer, the county received about $2 million in federal CARES Act funding to build the roughly 6,000-square-foot addition. In March, President Donald Trump signed the CARES Act into law, which, among other actions, sent money to states to distribute to local entities to help fund COVID-related projects and programs. County officials requested funding for the addition with the aim of using the extra space to separate inmates who test positive for COVID-19 from the rest of the jailâs population, according to the minutes from a Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee meeting held in August. Gov. Brad Little created the committee earlier this year to oversee the federal assistance Idaho received through the CARES Act.

Itâs Christmas Eve. Do you have beautifully wrapped gifts under your tree, a turkey roasting in the oven with all the fixings and pie, and a parlor game or two in mind? Or are you wondering how youâre going to pay for the few gifts under your tree, thankful for your meal that came from the Community Food Basket and worried about being evicted because you just couldnât cover rent again? Pat Tucker The gap in income between the haves and the have nots is growing faster in Idaho than in all but four other states.
