Starkville looks to Lowndes for juvenile beds Other counties, cities interested in reserving space at Lowndes detention center Lynn Spruill, Trip Hairston
Starkville and Lowndes County are discussing an agreement that would allow Starkville to reserve beds at Lowndes County’s juvenile detention center.
Due to a recent spike in juvenile crime in Starkville, the city has been trying to find new solutions to reduce the risk of continued misconduct, including a juvenile detention center.
In May, Starkville Mayor Lynn Spruill called a meeting with regional counties and municipalities to discuss a potential juvenile detention center for all of the Golden Triangle. Lowndes County owns a detention center, but the center’s annual budget of just short of $1 million only allows the county to utilize six of its 24 beds, board of supervisors president Trip Hairston said.
