Coryell County voters uneasy about proposed $30.9 million bond for new jail

CORYELL COUNTY, TX — Coryell County voters must decide whether to approve a $30.9 million bond for the construction of a new jail.
“When you get a division on the court and there’s not a consensus, then it’s always the responsible thing to do to get voter input,” said Coryell County Judge Roger Miller.
Judge Miller says the current jail is overcrowded. The proposed new facility would have around 250 beds. Some say that’s more than what the county needs.
“They need to come up with a lot more logic to me and a lot of us. Why do we need a 250-bed facility when everyone around already has one? And they’re making money. How are we gonna fill ours up?” said Mike Riddle, a Coryell County resident.

Helping the county’s increasing population of people who are mentally ill is no small or simple task, which is why Bell County’s mental health deputies and civilian mental health providers are working toward enhancing their collaboration.
“The base of the cooperation between Bell County law enforcement and Central Counties Services lies in being in the right place at the right time,” said James Arnold, associate director of mental health at Central Counties Services, the state-contracted provider of mental health services in Bell and Coryell counties.
