Commission plans jail tour

CLOVIS — The Curry County Commission is planning a tour of the renovated county detention center Wednesday morning, according to a county release.

The 9 a.m. tour is closed to the public. The county release notes that although a quorum of commission members will attend the tour, no public policy will be formulated and a report will be made during the commission’s July 7 meeting.

The renovation adds a 48-bed housing unit, two recreation yards and a medical unit covering 28,860 square feet. Other additions include a new sally-port, pre-booking space, medical exam area, holding cells and an inmate property room.

The construction cost is estimated at $12.8 million.
