Cash-strapped Wayne County jail misses out on $400k cost savings

A Wayne County audit has found that the cash-strapped sheriff's office missed out on about $400,000 in promised savings over the last two years.  The finding stems from an analysis of the county’s jail food contract. In its effort to win the contract, Canteen Correctional Services offered to save the county hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by implementing a debit-card program inside the jail.
