ELKO, Nev. (AP) — Fire concerns are keeping inmates from moving into the new wing at Elko County Jail.
The Elko Daily Free Press reports (http://bit.ly/1G7CWqT) Undersheriff Clair Morris says the fire marshal inspected the new wing and found that skylights didn't open and shut as planned.
Morris says they're working to resolve the issue in the next few days. In the meantime, Lander County jail is the temporary home for 13 female inmates at a daily cost of about $50 each.
State fire marshals did not return a call for comment.
