CANTON St. Lawrence County’s jail is running out of space as courts have started clearing backlogs and COVID-19 restrictions have eased.
St. Lawrence County Legislator David Forsythe asked for an update on inmate numbers at the July 19 SLC Operations Committee meeting.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Brooks Bigwarfe said the jail population was 123 and “growing quickly.”
He told the committee that there were seven new inmates in one day the previous week.
“At this rate I daresay we may be housing out in a couple months, but we’ll see where we are at,” he said.
