Lane County opens 41 additional jail beds Expanded capacity added as part of 2013 vote for 5-year public safety levy On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) reopened an additional 41 jail beds in the Lane County Jail, bringing the total jail capacity to 362 inmates, with 297 of those for local offend- ers.

July 2013 saw that num- ber go up to 256 as the voter- approved levy took effect. Since doubling jail bed capaci- ty in July 2013, LCSO antici- pated opening up to 84 addi- tional jail beds for local offend- ers once sufficient employees were hired and trained to staff jail housing areas. No budget adjustments are required by the reopening of the 41 beds. The number of capacity based releases — inmates released from the jail to prevent over-crowding — has fallen from 5,129 in the fiscal year before the levy to 2,126 in the last fiscal year. Several factors have driven the decision to reopen beds. • May: Staff identified need. • June: Staff determined need was critical. • July 1: California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG) brought in. • Early August: Jail and CFMG met to finalize proto- cols. • Aug. 31: Plan finalized. Based on Lane County’s population, estimates indicate Lane County Jail would need to hold about 1,000 local offend- ers to meet all the demands of the criminal justice system. The Sheriff’s Office antici- pates opening additional local jail beds before the end of the 2015-16 fiscal year.

Lane County voters passed the public safety levy that promised to keep a minimum of 255 local jail beds open throughout the five-year life of the levy. Levy funds are audited each fiscal year by an outside agency to ensure the Sheriff’s Office is spending levy funds as voters intended. The first audit was released in early 2015 and found that the Sheriff’s Office is keeping its commitment to Lane County voters. The jail levy requires a min- imum of 255 jail beds for local offenders. With support from underwriter Rev.
