County jails throughout the state of Illinois are overseen by the Illinois Department of Corrections and have rules and regulations that must be complied. With the current age of the Warren County jail and the state it is in, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee of the ongoing jail project for the Warren County Board Chip Algren reports in the latest annual inspection of the jail, there was a list of areas not in compliance:
The Citizens in Support of a Sales Tax Increase to Build a Warren County Law Enforcement Center campaign will begin in January to provide education on the upcoming sunset tax referendum on the April 4th ballot. Algren further explains if the referendum does not pass, the Warren County jail will close and local law enforcement will then transport those arrested to whatever county has been contracted to house Warren County inmates.
