Coryell County voters uneasy about proposed $30 9 million bond for new jail

Coryell County voters uneasy about proposed $30.9 million bond for new jail and last updated 2021-04-22 00:24:01-04 CORYELL COUNTY, TX — Coryell County voters must decide whether to approve a $30.9 million bond for the construction of a new jail. “When you get a division on the court and there’s not a consensus, then it’s always the responsible thing to do to get voter input,” said Coryell County Judge Roger Miller. Judge Miller says the current jail is overcrowded. The proposed new facility would have around 250 beds. Some say that’s more than what the county needs. “They need to come up with a lot more logic to me and a lot of us. Why do we need a 250-bed facility when everyone around already has one? And they’re making money. How are we gonna fill ours up?” said Mike Riddle, a Coryell County resident.
