Jail Deal Reaches Impasse

KWGS File Photo

Negotiations on a jail deal reach an impasse that prompts Tulsa County to drop talks on an agreement. County leaders say proposed changes by the city of Tulsa are unacceptable. Commissioner Ron Peters says while the county and Criminal Justice Authority have signed off on a deal, the city has refused to do so.

Peters says the jail will continue to house municipal inmates as long as the city pays the daily rate determined by county commissioners.
