Two counties discuss future of jail agreement

   June 12, 2017

Representatives of Walton County Sheriff Mike Adkinson are meeting with Escambia County Administrator Jack Brown at 1 p.m. today. Because of the talks, Sheriff Adkinson has suspended his deadline of June 30 to return the 260-plus Escambia County inmates that the Walton County jail currently houses.

A WCSO spokeswoman emphasized the discussion will focus on working together and coming up with viable long-term solutions. Depending on how well the talks go, Sheriff Adkinson may decide to continue to partner with Escambia County, which it has done since flooding in April 2014 led to the county’s detention center being destroyed and the death of two inmates.
