A committee created over three years ago to address overcrowding at the Sullivan County Jail met last week and approved a recommendation to hire an outside consultant to create a “master plan” for the jail’s expansion, the Kingsport Times News reports. The goal of the plan is to find the best use of the 30-acre property that houses the Blountville Justice Center and other components of the county’s jail system. The measure now heads to the Sullivan County Commission for approval at its November meeting.
