The Inlander has a recent piece on the county jail through the land use context making the case the siting itself is illegal because of the Urban Growth Area. Nick Deshais interviews Center For Justice attorney Rick Eichstaedt.
“We all had questions, and those questions need to be answered,” says the commission’s vice chair and local developer, Pete Rayner. “The questions that came up just in the dialogue there, issues raised by the Center for Justice: Is what we’re doing legal? … Everybody read [Eichstaedt’s] letter and said, ‘We need to know answers to these things.’”

No New Jail - The Billion Dollar Pig - is dedicated to minimizing jail populations in Spokane and other counties nationwide. We are Spokane County area citizens opposed to new incarceration space. We believe that retribution and incarceration have little to do with either deterrence or safety, and that it has fostered a trillion dollar industry of jails and prisons unparalleled in history. We are determined to end the craziness of politicians and the profits of prison builders.
