Published: The Columbia Press, Sept. 14, 2018 Letter to the Editor Why you should support jail bond I have lived in Clatsop County since 1971. During that period, I was employed as an Oregon State peace offi- cer with the University of Or- egon assigned to Job Corps, a member of the Astoria Police Department and a part-time jail deputy. Working in this field of law enforcement, I had occa- sion to become involved in the workings of the Clatsop County Jail. I am familiar with many of the problems of the working conditions that staff have had to contend with. The cramped space staff must work in, the lack of living space prisoners have to share and the ongoing conditions that sometimes cause safety concerns for both staff and those incarcerated. We have a great opportu- nity to move the jail from its confined area to a facil- ity presently known as the former North Coast Youth Correctional Facility, locat- ed just a few blocks from the Sheriff’s Office. I have visited these buildings many times while serving on the Warren- ton-Hammond School Board, attending work sessions and graduation ceremonies of the youth who completed their certificate of learning. The buildings have great poten- tial to hold and help and treat prisoners. Sheriff Tom Bergin has my strong support. He’s a strong proponent of remodeling the youth facility for our jail and has led the movement to lead presentations to promote the bond throughout Clatsop County. I ask our citizens to look at all accessible informa- tion and attend discussions that may help inform. Melvin Jasmin Warrenton
