GRAY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) The new female wing at the Jones County Detention Center will help daily operations run a little smoother. Before the addition, inmates both men and women had to share common areas.
Chief Earl Humphries said, “We would just swap out times when they would have that access.”
He says the detention center can now hold more inmates without overcrowding. The Jones County jail holds federal and state inmates both women and men.
“Probation violation and stuff like that determines where an inmate is housed or not,” Humphries said.
