(28/36) Currently, we have a record back-up of state prisoners in our county jails. This limits the counties & cities in their capacity to enforce laws. This backlog must be remedied & for that reason I recommend a one-time investment to fund a new 498 inmate prison facility.
(21/36) Because of your advocacy and hard work, I am able to announce support for the $5,000 one-time payment to every county and city certified law enforcement officer. This will be a one-time payment from our surplus effective June 30 when the fiscal year ends.
During my weekly briefing today, I expressed my support for a nearly 500 bed expansion of the North Central Unit prison in Calico Rock and provided the latest COVID information in Arkansas. You can watch here: https://t.co/ZSgkhy08yZ
