Klickitat County Jail Still Open… for now; Christopher calls closure 'rash decision'

Klickitat County Jail remains open as of April 12, but the process has begun to close the jail following accusations of human rights violations after a suicide and one inmate described to have the smell of rotting flesh. Songer has said he will respond to County Commissioner questions if given a reasonable amount of time. The questions are on top of the questions submitted by state and federal agencies regarding conditions at the jail.
