Last week, the Fiscal Court received an update on inmate housing and revenue at the Hopkins County Detention Center.
Jailer Mike Lewis reported a total of 240 inmates at the jail as of Tuesday morning, with approximately 175 held for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He noted that ICE inmates are transported about twice a week, and that housing them has brought in over $1 million in revenue for the facility so far this year.
