More acts of violence inside the Hamilton County Justice Center due to Overcrowding.

Sheriff Jim Neil has declared a “state of emergency”  Originally  built to hold 842 inmates, modified later to hold 1240, but over the weekend the population reached 1611. To combat this problem Sheriff Neil began moving inmates to other facilities at some expense. Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune thinks the Sheriffs move is not needed.
