Friday morning officals with Jefferson County held a groundbreaking ceremony on the site of New Sherif's office and Justice Center on JA Berry lane on Madison Hilltop. This facility is needed to house prisoners the current jail is not in sufficent enough to provide safety for the officers and currently the county has prisoners in other facilities because of overcrowding at the current jail. The new faciltity will house 300 inmates with ground square footage of 84,779 feet. This project was first discussed in early 2017 and after a long process the faciltiy was able to begin to take shape. This will save taxpayers money and the facitlity will be able to be expanded if needed for additonal inmates. All Sheriff's operations will be moved to the new site when it opens in Spring of 2023.
