2-16-26: Will Jail North Reopen?

from Breaking With Brett Jensen · host WBT

Tune in here to this ​Monday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen discusses a major local issue that continues to generate debate: the closure of Jail North, Mecklenburg County’s former juvenile detention center in Huntersville. Jensen explains that the jail received notoriety for being the only facility in the state that allowed incarcerated high school students to continue working toward their GEDs or high school diplomas. In the past three years, North Carolina legislators have expressed interest in reopening Jail North. However, authority over the jail lies solely with Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden, not the county manager. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.
