Thank you citizens of OK County and to our numerous partners and advocates for helping us all achieve this important step forward as a community.

@TheLynnTimmons This is a public facility. There are no private investors. As our website shows, we have Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike that want to improve jail conditions by building a new jail.

The bond question on June 28 offers a pragmatic solution with support from diverse communities, and county leadership. Oklahoma County’s current jail has drawn concerns from experts since it opened in 1991. It’s our responsibility to face this issue and solve it once and for all.

[Greater OKC Chamber @okcchamber]

The proposal has more transparency, accountability, space for diversion/mental health/job training programs, medical facility and more, without raising taxes. It's time to build a safer, more efficient jail that better reflects our community values. Vote YES today to #FixTheJail

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

Vote YES today! A new facility will be built with the transparency of a citizens’ oversight committee, & will finally have the infrastructure for quality healthcare & incorporated diversion. It’s time to build the right facility- without raising taxes. https://t.co/1dgVEpjSfZ

What time will you vote on June 28? Before or after work? Are you going to the polls with family or friends? Make a plan to cast your ballot, and vote yes on the county question so we can finally fix the jail.

@MilliganWalker There are opportunities through MAPS4 and ongoing reforms that will coincide with a more efficient jail, so all these changes can happen together. Bottom line is this- voting no on this opportunity leaves us in our current situation, which we agree is unacceptable.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

@mcafee2012 @MilliganWalker Diversion partners are at the current jail, daily, but the infrastructure is a real barrier to incorporating more assistance. Everything from booking to meeting with attorneys is strained in a building that has never met our needs. A no vote simply supports this failing system.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

@OKCNightCourt @calveyiscorrupt Glad to find common ground- it's a needed change. It's certainly not an either/or situation in terms of a new jail vs serving those detained today. The population decrease has been dramatic thanks to diversion & service providers. Progress will only grow with the right facility.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

The county question on your June 28 ballot is about the funding mechanism for a new jail. In-depth research showed the most cost-effective way to fix the jail is a new facility. The bond is our only opportunity to do that without raising taxes. More info: https://t.co/nt5aRY535e

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

Passing on this opportunity to #FixTheJail supports the status quo. If you want change vote yes on June 28. https://t.co/wIkcIumKJ3

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

It’s time for OK County to step up and fix the jail. The problems are well documented. June 28th election is our opportunity to replace the crumbling jail with one that offers diversion options and better mental health and addiction treatment. Without raising taxes. Vote yes.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

@OKCNightCourt @calveyiscorrupt All involved know it will take more than the $260M to address the issues and this has been discussed. There will be savings from the new jail, other existing county funds and the funds freed up from ARPA dollars. In addition, the new jail will work well with CJR aspects of MAPS4.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

@keycsh83 Voting no supports the status quo. A new facility is slated to incorporate diversion & mental health/addiction treatment to offer avenues out of incarceration. Our current facility simply can not support these needs. Transparency is built into the plan, with an advisory committee

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

The poor condition and problematic layout of the current jail drive higher operation costs. A new facility is estimated to save Oklahoma County about $5.2 million per year in operating expenses. Learn more: https://t.co/wIkcIuEm7D

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

@isai5513 Our current jail was built for maximum security, with no real medical pod. Staffing is complicated with 13 floors. The whole design was never right for our community, and the solution is a new facility.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

Planning for the new jail includes a citizen oversight committee. This will facilitate transparency every step of the way by ensuring meetings are a part of the public record and opening up citizen involvement. Learn more: https://t.co/wIkcIuEm7D

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

@calveyiscorrupt @helennlangley Because existing bonds are ending, we can issue new ones without tax rates increase. Yes, without it taxes would decrease but we would still have a jail that is inefficient and dangerous. Long-term, a new modern jail will save the taxpayer money while improving public safety.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

We have known for too long that the infrastructure in the Oklahoma County Jail is not up to snuff. Rev. Scoby is advocating for change. Vote yes on June 28 and visit https://t.co/1fUof1TraX for more information.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

The history of Oklahoma County's current jail is fraught. Timothy Tardibono of the Criminal Justice Advisory Council has advocated for long-term solutions for years and right now is a unique opportunity. Make a plan to vote on June 28.

[Fix The Jail - Yes on June 28 @FixTheJail]

An appropriate facility is the next logical step to improve outcomes for individuals who may become involved in the justice system. Join Speaker Kris Steele, of TEEM, in voting YES on June 28 to fix the jail. https://t.co/wIkcIuEm7D
