The preliminary results from Tuesday's special election indicates the Cochise County Sheriff's Department will get its new jail. Voters have approved to raise the sales tax to fund the jail.
COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — The second release of preliminary results from Tuesday's new jail district special election indicate the county will have a high sales tax to fund a new jail district.
“This is a huge step after 40 years as we open a new chapter for our detention folks here in Cochise County," said Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels."We have to get a new jail built. The sooner we can get it built the sooner we can satisfy the need of the people that need a jail in this county.” The new jail will have more medical and mental health resources available for the inmates. Dannels said most of the people that are incarcerated in the county jail are first time offenders who need resources to help them when they are released to rejoin the community.
