Pulaski County Detention Center Sgt. Rodney Dick and Nursing Director Casey Coffey updated Fiscal Court Tuesday on jail operations since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has been particularly hard on county jails across Kentucky, the Pulaski County Detention Center accomplished something nearly unheard of.
During Tuesday s meeting of Pulaski County Fiscal Court, PCDC Sergeant Rodney Dick presented county officials with a $44,255 check representing excess fees for 2020.
With the pandemic keeping inmates from being transferred, most local jails saw a dramatic drop in inmate population particularly state inmates that produce lodging revenues.
Dick said that Jailer Anthony McCollum and his command staff restructured as a result. We re doing more with less, he said.
