The Shelby County Board of Commissioners on Monday approved $10 million for "emergency repairs" at the Shelby County Jail. In May, the commission approved emergency funding to repair locks on cell doors and earlier this month, broken elevators at 901 Poplar raised safety concerns for employees, visitors and inmates. Sheriff Floyd Bonner's office will be responsible for the rest of the $16.4 million estimate for repairs. The Daily Memphian has the story.
