‘Life-safety improvements’ coming to City-County Building Jail

Dane County will spend around $4.1 million to make the City-County Building Jail safe enough to house inmates in the short term, while the county works to discontinue housing inmates in the building in the long term.

The County Board of Supervisors approved the funding to “mitigate life-safety issues” unanimously, with two absences, Thursday after the resolution passed two committees unanimously.
