Tales from inside 201

from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian

For the past year and a half, the Shelby County Jail — commonly known as 201 Poplar — has been over its 2,400-inmate capacity. And with the recent surge in local arrests tied to the Memphis Safe Task Force, conditions inside 201 seem to be deteriorating. Recent inmates describe overcrowding, violence, neglect and a system struggling under the weight of new bookings. Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola and public safety reporter Aarron Fleming talk about conditions inside the jail, what's causing them and what suggestions have been made to fix the issues.  Plus: Memphis seniors get $3M in federal funding for home repair A local law firm files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Germantown waits to change the debt limit Ashlar Hall's restoration was 'anything but simple'
