US Marshals asks Piscataquis County to expand jail for more federal inmates

Summary by Ground News
The U.S. Marshals Service is asking Piscataquis County to build an addition to its jail to house more federal prisoners. Sheriff Bob Young told the county commissioners during a meeting on Tuesday morning that he had been approached by the US Marshals about expanding the jail. Since the early 1990s the jail has boarded federal inmates and Young said this brings in about $400,000 annually. The sheriff said a 20- to 30-bed addition would not take up a large footprint of the county campus.
