County jail to begin farming-in inmates

NORWICH – Chenango County Undersheriff Ernest Cutting said he was “optimistic” that the new jail would be farming in prisoners in July, a month shy of earlier forecasts.
The New York State Department of Corrections recently completed a week-long review of the 129-bed facility and made few recommendations.
“They issues were just recommendations to document certain things. This (the review’s completion) will help us to get prisoners in and begin making some revenue,” he said. Corrections moved to the new complex in February.
Other operations at the jail are humming along smoothly, the undersheriff told members of the Public Safety Committee Wednesday. The dispatch center, still operating out of the old jail in downtown Norwich, will officially move to the Upper Ravine Road site by the end of the month. The Public Safety Facility’s kitchen staff and Area Agency on Aging staff members are working together well, he said. “We are still trying to coordinate menus, but things are fine,” he said.
Cutting asked for and received permission to refill a dispatcher position and custodial worker. The part time custodial hire would help clean approximately 24,000 square feet of administrative space. Inmates clean the cell portions of the building.
In other committee news, Town of Norwich Supervisor David C. Law asked Cutting if there were room in the building to house the New York State Police barracks. Law said the state police’s current lease is expiring and they are “considering building a new barracks.”
