Bartholomew County Sheriff Matt Myers is slated to present findings about the jail’s staffing and overcrowding issues. Judy Jackson, department spokeswoman, says that Jail Commander Major John Martoccia will be joining Myers in the presentation during Monday evening’s work session of the Bartholomew County Council.

The Sheriff’s Department says that occupancy at the jail continues to increase. Sheriff Myers has said recently that a factor in recent overcrowding is a change to state law that requires low-level felons to be housed in county jails instead of the state’s prison system. The Sheriff says that overcrowding issues are being faced by many jails throughout the state and Monday’s presentation will be an attempt to “get in front” of the problem.
