Sheriff Roybal urges state for help on overcrowding jails, citing cost discrepancies and resource strain.
El Paso County Sheriff Joe Roybal is pressing the state for help as overcrowding in local jails worsens due to a backlog of inmates waiting to be transferred to state prisons.
The county jail now holds 137 sentenced inmates, costing taxpayers over half a million dollars, while the state reimburses only $77.63 per inmate per day, far below the county's $143 cost.
Sheriff Roybal demands the state either pay the full cost or take the inmates, as the situation strains local resources and budgets.
