Ulster County Comptroller March Gallagher released an audit of the inmate capacity and staffing of the Ulster County Office of the Sheriff’s Corrections Division. The Corrections Division represents 7% of the total Ulster County budget.
“Ulster County taxpayers continue to fully fund a large facility for an inmate service population that never met the maximum and has continued to decline since 2014 while costs have escalated,” said Ulster County Comptroller March Gallagher. “Savings will allow the prioritization of other non-mandated services like the Sheriff’s Road Patrol.”
