Credit to court for inmate fall

NASHUA – If there’s one number James O’Mara likes to see go down, it’s the number of people spending the night in his jail. O’Mara said the average daily population at the Hillsborough County Department of Corrections is down about 60 people – and dropping still – from what he was projecting at the start of the fiscal year. “My population is down significantly,” said, O’Mara, the jail’s superintendent. “My population continues to decline as we speak.” O’Mara gives much of the credit for the smaller number of inmates to the Community Connections Mental Health Court, which in the last year has expanded to cover all five of the Hillsborough County’s district courts. The mental health court, which started at Nashua District Court in 2006, is now in the district courts in Merrimack, Milford, Manchester and Goffstown thanks to a $200,000, two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance. This grant is set to expire soon, and officials are trying to petition state legislators to include funding of the program, which they say will save money for taxpayers in the long term. “Quite honestly, if we’re not funded by the county, I don’t think the program will continue,” said Susan Stearns, director of development at the Greater Nashua Mental Health Center. O’Mara agrees and has requested $100,000 in his budget proposal to fund the program on the county level.

The Graves County Sheriff’s Office was recently awarded $3,929 in a grant from the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, under the Law Enforcement Protection Program. According to Sheriff Dewayne Redmon the grant was used to purchase four new X-26 Tasers as well as several cartridges and batteries for the tasers. “With this grant we are now able to equip all road deputies, detectives and supervisors with a taser,” Redmon said. “We will also be able to have one taser issued to a court security officer in District Court and Circuit Court at all times court is in session. This will make each deputies’ job safer and give us a safer and more effective way to deal with combative individuals.” The grant was made possible with the help of Graves County Judge Executive Tony Smith and the Graves County Fiscal Court.
