Muskegon County jail, juvenile center planning event generates much input, concern about size | MLive.com
Joseph Mrak, vice president of RQAW, said the design team will go over the information Tuesday night and “make some reasonable planning assumption” for the number of beds for the proposed jail, an amount that could be adjusted later by county officials.
Much of the criticism centered on the overall justice system and requested more efforts to implement additional jail-diversion programs to reduce those incarcerated.
The consultant team members pointed out that they can’t use speculative items for their projections, but Mrak said the concerns would be passed on the county officials.
