Housing federal inmates likely to boost Greene County sheriff’s office revenue

The Greene County Commission voted 2-0 on Nov. 1 to extend a contract agreement with the U.S. Marshals to house unsentenced federal inmates for the next three years. Rate adjustments for what the federal government will pay Greene County stand to boost Greene County Sheriff’s Office revenue by about $2 million per year from what it currently makes housing federal inmates in the jail.
