<br /> <br />Office of the County Manager <br /> <br />Memo ÇlJ <br />To: Board of Commissioners <br />From: JolmDay, County Manage ... <br />Date: October 15,2004 <br />Re: Temporary Measures for Jail Overcrowding Relief <br /> <br />Some time ago Sheriff Riley reported on the possibility of using modified shipping' , <br />containers as temporary jail facilities. Glenn Ware, the architect for the new jail project, <br />pursued the issue with General Marine Leasing, the container company, and the state <br />departments of insurance and facility services. <br /> <br />It was determined that modification of the containers would be necessary to meet state <br />codes. Based on a recent conversation between Mr. Ware and a General Marine Leasing <br />representative (see attached email), such modifications would be very costly and time- <br />consummg. <br /> <br />Consequently, we are investigating the possibility of performing minor renovations to an <br />existing building for use as a temporary jail. The state's jail and detention section chief, <br />as well as other state officials, is scheduled to meet with us here on October 26th. <br />Hopefully, we can develop a cost-effective solution. <br /> <br />The Sheriff continues to search for other county jails with space available for Cabarrus <br />County inmates, but has had little success. . <br /> <br />I will provide an update after the October 26th meeting. <br /> <br />£--/ <br /> <br />~ <br />~CæY <br />IORIH CAROUU <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />Cabarrus County. 65 Church Street, SE .
