MCLENNAN COUNTY — McLennan County jail trusties will be available to communities throughout the county to perform manual labor that might otherwise have to be outsourced.
Pct. 4 County Commissioner Ben Perry said that inmates will be available to cities as early as next month.
McLennan County Jail Supervisor John Kolinek praised the program.
“Any time our inmates can do work for a local city, and it doesn’t cost taxpayers anything, I think that’s a good thing,” Kolinek said.
