Follow-up inspection today at the new jail

A follow-up inspection by the state Department of Corrections takes place today at the new Oconee Jail.  Unless something shows up unanticipated today, Sheriff Mike Crenshaw anticipates an approval letter from Columbia and the new jail will be ready in four to six weeks.  Today’s inspection is a follow-up inspection from a few weeks ago when, according to Crenshaw, the state inspections noted a small list of items. Crenshaw said, “We have been working with the contractor to ensure all work is finished and ready.”  Meantime, transition training for the staff continues.
