new addition to Justice Center.jpg

Workers breaking ground last year on the new addition for the Macon County Justice Center.

A Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) committee has been created for Macon County, designed to create a path to certification for detention facilities facing decertification or that have been decertified. Officials say the program is also designed to eliminate unnecessary expenditures, time and duplication among agency personnel and county administrative staff.

鈥淭his committee is for the accreditation process,鈥 said Macon County Jail Administrator Jacob Law. 鈥淔orming this committee will help us receive more funding with the state inmates bringing in an additional three dollars per inmate. Once we meet our next goal by reaching tier two, there will be an additional three more dollars.鈥
