I love how law enforcement is posting "officer removed from patrol" items in their published log. Is it to help drum up support for the new justice center?
So what? This has been done for generations. It will continue to be done because inmates are transferred from county to county all the time. And it will continue just the same if the new justice center is constructed.

Mower County could hire a couple full-time security personnel, buy a couple secure transport vans and do nothing buy drive prisoners to and from rented space at neighboring county jails.
If they budgeted $300,000 per year for the above-mentioned functions, they could carry it out for 100 years before they'd have spent the $30 million dollars the new project is going to cost.

Seymour, too bad your creative thinking isn't being utilized by our local government.

$30 million???? did the price go down??? But Seymour... you are leaving out the cost of housing the inmate. which we are paying between $600,000 and $800,00 a year. so it would be about a cool million a year. so for about 30 years we would be good. Oh wait did I mention the $2 million a year to run the new jail? So wait gimmie a minute... doing the math... WOOO HOOO.... WE GOT A MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR SAVINGS EVERY YEAR BY NOT BUILDING A JAIL!!!! Kratos my boy, am I wrong?

I think this all has been brought to the boards attention, and their reaction was, ( so, what's your point?)
