Box Elder county has been advised not to build a correctional complex holding (county jail) but instead, a or serious facility and send long-teroffenders to a regional center. The recommendation came in an $8,500 jail feasibility study, the contents of which were made public at Tuesdays county commission meeting. On hand to discuss the findings was Dan Smith, representing Space Utilization Analysis, Inc., Los Angeles, which handled the study.

Alternative III (holding facility) will require the least capital investment by the county, and with the utilization of the existing jail, the cost will be minimal compared with the new construction required in the other two the report states. alternatives, Smith said the existing jail site is large enough to accommodate such a facility. Logical, Place The SUA spokesman pointed to neighboring Weber county as a logical place to establish a regional correctional center. This would represent an added cost for Box Elder in payments for housing its prisoners there. The actual cost cannot be determined until a per diem rate is established, the report states, adding, however, that it should be less than the added operating costs and the amortized cost of the construction of new correctional facilities.
