The Sheriff is planning to place female inmates in the Work Release Facility in an effort to efficiently and economically manage the jail population. The Health Division is requesting the creation of two (2) GF/GP full-time eligible General Staff Nurse positions to handle the increased clinical services required by the change in the Work Release Facility population.
