Wake County Jail is quickly approaching the capacity, Sheriff Willy Rowe said.
County has a capacity of 1,574 prisoners and currently 1,499 prisoners by Wednesday.
“We don’t have prisoners who are sleeping on the floor,” Rowe said.
However, the number of prisoners changes every day.
Rowe said 48 cells are being rebuilt, which has contributed to the lack of space.
“We need more space,” Rowe said. “We need more employees. We need more agencies who are working within the community to help people. ,
Rowe said that 134 posts have been opened for custody officers in jail. He explained what he is doing to fill the difference.
“We allow employees to overtime, so we can bring them to fill every situation,” Rowe said. “We are actively recruiting. We have an academy running right now. ,
Wake County has 1,568 beds between small town prison and 3301 Hammond Center on Hammond Road.
When those beds are filled, the gel uses a bed called ease bunk that are placed in normal areas.
The jail still needs a place, Rowe said.
A potential solution is to open the old annex on the 3400 Hammond Road, which is in a separate building across the road from the detention center. This will add another 240 beds, which will bring the total number of beds to 1,792.
Rowe says that this outer army will also take to help reduce the jail population. He suggested a private-public, trust-based partnership to address “people’s conduct.
