Groundbreaking For
New Jail SeJ Friday
The groundbreaking for the
planned new Starr County deten-
tion facilities is set for 9 o'clock
Friday morning.
The new County Jail will be
constructed on the hill overlooking
the courthouse fr&m the north The
jail will be constructed at a cost of
approximately $1.5 million, and
will be paid for entirely by funds
from the U.S. Marshal's Office.
Chief Deputy J.C. Gomez said the
facility will house 80 prisoners for
federal agencies over a period of 20
years. The federal government will
pay $23 per day per detainee over
the first three years, said Gomez,
who then added, "After that, we'll
re-evaluate the contract "
Both Gomez and Sheriff Gene
Falcon stressed that the jail will be
self-supporting from the revenue it
raises, requiring no expense to the
taxpayers.

hope that more personnel,
especially jailers, will be added to
the Sheriff's Department. These
personnel, they said, will be paid
from revenue raised in the jail's
operation
Gomez added that approximately
$150,000 in surplus equipment,
including clothing for inmates and
kitchen equipment, has been ob-
tained by the Sheriff's Department
through the U.S. Marshal's Office.
Falcon said that U.S. District
Judge Ricardo Hinojosa is
expected to move to the U.S.
Courthouse in McAllen in the next
month or two, to take over the
judgeship of the western part of the
Brownsville Division of the
Southern Judicial District (of Tex
as).

ing ceremonies
