Sheriff Brant Johnson said the study will examine the countys present jail facility and make recommendations on future expansion. The commissioners approved the hiring of a private consultant to do the study at a .cost estimated between $20,000 and $25,000. The study is expected to start within a month and .be completed by Jan. 1, said Johnson. Johnson said until 1980 only 35 beds existed in the county jail. After 1980, an addition increased the number to 101, but Johnson said on weekends the jail population has risen to as high as 120 prisoners.

She pleaded not guilty to the third degree felony charges last week in District Court and is scheduled for trial on Dec. 14, Her partner, Linda Jellings of Clinton, has also been charged with practicing medicine without a license and will be arraigned this week. , Supporters of the two women' claim the charges are part of a conspiracy against home birth started by doctors and govern . protestors. In the state of Utah, lay midwives are neither legal or illegal, she said. Theres a great variance between lay midwives and certified midwives. If the lay midwife chooses to administer medication then thats illegal, she said. Ms. Roberts said there are 41 licensed midwives in Utah and as many as 200 unlicensed. To receive certification for the practice, which dates back to Biblical times, an applicant must first be . months must then be completed and the applicant must also pass a, nationally certified test to re- ceive a license.
