The City of Martinsvllie Police <br />Department has done a very good Job doing everything they can to reduce crime in our <br />community. And, because of their success, we have been able to keep our inmate <br />population to a manageable level. Over the last seven to ten years, the City of Martinsville <br />has supported our local correctional program by consolidating the City Farm and the City <br />Jail under the supervision of the Sherlffand constructing the steel manufactured building <br />we refer to as 'building two* on Church Street. <br /> <br />This may be the right time to approach Henry and Patrick County toJoin us in a regional <br />jarl projecL Sheriff Draper is of the opinion that they may now be interested in working <br />with us. If this opinion is correct, we should immediately contact both Henry and Patrick <br />Counties and begin the planning phase of this project. We feel that DOC would support a <br />Patrick/Hemy/Martinsville regional jail projecL <br /> <br />Therefore, I see no immediate or long-term benefits from participating in the Pittsylvania <br />Regional Jarl project. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />November 19, 2004 Memo from SherlffDraper <br />May 17, 2005 Letter from PttL%,lvanla County <br />E-mail comments from Sheriff Draper <br /> <br />E-mail comments from Attorney Monday <br /> <br />Recommendations: Place on next agenda <br /> <br />Motion Mayor Cobbe Roop Clark. <br />Second V-Mayor Reynolds Fen'ill <br /> <br /> <br />
