Russell County Jailer Bobby Dunbar will serve on a committee representing jailers across the state during the upcoming legislative session.
Dunbar was a guest on Community Conversation on WJRS recently. He announced he’ll be serving on this committee, as jailers will look to the legislature for help on issues facing jails across the state.
Dunbar said one of those key issues is the increase in inmates suffering from severe mental health issues.
Dunbar said another key issue is the cost of housing state inmates.
The legislative session begins Tuesday, January 6.
