GEORGETOWN, Ohio — The Brown County Adult Detention Center has closed due to unsafe working conditions for deputies, according to a sheriff’s office memo obtained by WCPO.
The Brown County Board of Commissioners met with Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little in an emergency meeting Thursday to officially close the facility due to issues with the locking devices on some of the doors in the jail.
“If you cannot secure a jail, you cannot have a jail,” said Commissioner Barry Woodruff.
