Detention Center Isn't Safe Enough

Denmark, S.C. - In a recently published story, it reads that when the Orangeburg County Detention Center was inspected on January 7, there were several problems detected. There were numerous problems with the staffing levels, furnishings and operations. Although there are problems, County Administrator Harold Young said that the county is working on the correction of some of the problems stated in the report. He is quoted saying they are making the necessary steps to improve their facility.

I think that improvement is necessary but spending a lot of money on a detention center is not sensible. That is well needed money that could be used to benefit more important efforts to improve the community. I do believe that the facility needs to be maintain to stop from inmates being injured but I think its unheard of to actually spend a lot of money on that.
