VIGO COUNTY, Ind. – The firm doing the Vigo County Jail study will have a public hearing tonight to show what they believe the county needs in a news jail.

Dr. Kenneth Ray of RJS Justice Services plans to present an ‘inmate forecast’ to show how many beds he feels the next jail should have.

He will also look at the initial design concepts of the jail.

The public hearing with a question and answer session will happen Thursday at 5:30 at the AM Vets Post 222 in West Terre Haute.
