Judge Rules for Sheriff in Caddo Jail Funding Dispute

The Times reports that 1st JDC Judge Roy Brun issued a ruling ordering the Caddo Parish Commission to pay the Sheriff for all jail expenses resulting in the arrest, confinement and prosecution of prisoners, and any costs associated with deputies testifying. The ruling is expected to cost the Parish almost $775,000 more than it currently pays the Caddo Correctional Center. An appeal is likely.
