LAWRENCE COUNTY ARREST LIST – MARCH 19-28, 2018

MARCH 28, 2018 – written by WADE QUEEN

REGIONAL JAIL INMATES PACKED IN LIKE SARDINES

On Wednesday, March 28, at 8 P.M., the number of inmates being incarcerated at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville was at an all time high, with a total of 337 prisoners.

The BSRDC facility designated maximum capacity is for 225 prisoners. That means the jail is at 50% percent over capacity. And the numbers will likely increase through the next few days.

To give a comparison, the Pike County Detention center in Pikeville at the very same time at 8:00 P.M.-03/28/2018 had a total of 355 inmates booked, and the PCD jail facility’s designated maximum capacity is for 400 prisoners.

A total of 15 people were taken in custody in Lawrence County between March 19 thru March 28. Another 3 Lawrence County residents were arrested in neighboring counties ( 1 Morgan County, 1 in Martin County, and 1 in Johnson County).
