DFA is in charge of the construction. Hinds had its chance and blew it. Hinds needs a large, functioning jail. The surrounding burbs and counties have a vested interest in this. They have to spend much more money on more police. Jackson crime spills over into their areas. One reason there is catch and release is because of the jail (and the D.A. and the judges). Too many prisoners have been killed in that jail as well.

Same thing with Jackson. They need millions and millions more money to fuel their idea of government. The problem is, THEIR idea of government drives off the money and they can't get blood from a turnip or taxes from people who don't have it. So you end up with a jail run by the inmates and streets that resemble a bombing range. If they build a new jail it will be the same thing, pay twice as much for half the value, in a county that's broke. But the sheriff, the board, the clerks, the councilmen etc. all have jobs, so that's something, right?
