Gibson County looks at inmate rehousing By Janice Barniak In the wake of overcrowd- ing and lawsuits at the Gib- son County Jail, County Commissioners presented opportunities to rehouse in- mates Tuesday to the Gibson County Council. Gibson County Sheriff Tim Bottoms talked to sever- al counties, and while Knox and Perry counties are over capacity, Pike County was able to do five or fewer in- mates, Warrick could take five, and Posey County could accommodate 10 or fewer. Those counties would charge the Sheriff's Office $ 35 per day plus expenses, and transportation would likely mean overtime for the corrections officers involved in the transport. None of the counties would take female inmates, reported Commis- sioners' Attorney Jim Mc- Donald. The most inmates that can be legally transported at one time is three. Right now, Sheriff Bot- toms reported 111 inmates in the 120 -bed facility, which, while not ideal for segregating prisoners, is within bounds for everyone to have a bed. However, jail numbers fluctuate hour to hour, the sheriff said, and one lawsuit against the jail alleges pris- oners have previously slept on mattresses on the floor between the other prison- ers and the bathroom, which has lead to tension. "I think that the right step is at least get agreements in place, in case we need to utilize other facilities," said Councilman Craig Pflug. "I think we're taking a lot of steps in the right directions." Commissioners have in- stigated a jail committee to look at the future of the jail and address overcrowding. TREES Continued from page 1 my friends and neighbors," said Mann. "I want to look them in the eye and have them give me the parameters for what I can do. I'm too old to make any long range plans. I on- ly have 19 years left," said Mann, alluding to him turn- ing 80 next year. Mann said in the past he would have thought the U.S. Dept. of Interior would have wanted impact statements on the tree clearing along the power lines. He said they gave no consideration for en- dangered species, such as the Indiana bat. "I have seen them down by Barren Creek, so they are in the area." Large yellow mats cre- ate what Don Mann calls The Yellow Brick Road along the front of his prop- erty. Don Mann stands next to the stumps left by Vec- tren. They recently cut down 20 white pine trees that he planted 38 years ago as a sound barrier between his house and Highway 61.
