HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - The Jail Authority Board voted to delay a decision on the proposed expansion and improvement of Middle River Regional Jail. Local and organization leaders have called on the board to focus on alternative options other than a physical expansion.
Hannah Wittmer with Communities Against Middle River Jail Expansion says that alternatives such as transferring inmates at Middle River who should be with the Department of Corrections and reexamining pretrial processes can help decrease the population at the jail.
