BOARD'S RESPONSE None. WARDEN'S REPORT In Correctional Facility news, Warden Fewell reported, as of this morning, April 15, 2025, the facility had a population of 351 inmates. Warden Fewell also reported a slight increase in the inmate population compared to the previous month, noting that the county houses individuals with mental illness and those who are highly addicted, which makes up most of the population. Judge DiSalle asked if addictions were up and the Warden confirmed they were. Warden Fewell added that despite the increase, the facility remains under its rated maximum capacity, and his team will continue to monitor trends closely. Warden Fewell also reported he had observed a modest shift with a higher proportion of pre-trial detainees, emphasizing the potential operational impacts. With regards to diversion and early-release programs, which have helped mitigate even more significant growth, Warden said both programs have been effective. The Board agreed to continue monthly tracking of intake figures and consider expansion of diversion initiatives should upward trends continue.
