Why?

In May 2011 an outside group reviewed the Lewis and Clark detention facility, and while it was considered very clean and efficient, it was still lacking in size for the population it is required to detain.  After careful consideration the county has decided to take steps to rectify the issue, one of which is to create the working group.
