STEPHENSON COUNTY — Last fall the Stephenson County jail rolled out 30 body cameras to their correctional officers. The officers wear the cameras every day, which helps keep the peace between officers and inmates.
“We haven’t had any fights since we started with the cameras,” said Stephenson County Jail Administrator Steven Stovall. “The inmates know that the camera is on.”
Stovall says there hasn’t been one complaint filed by an inmate specifically regarding the cameras.
