Welcome to the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DECEMBER 11, 2006
Jail doors were closed to the City of Toledo as an overcrowding emergency was declared at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio.
The offender population at CCNO stood at 604 or 94 percent this morning. Saturday’s population peaked to 617 or 96 percent. On Saturday CCNO was closed to both the City of Toledo and Lucas County. CCNO is now accepting inmates from Lucas County.
It was the 12th time this year that jail doors have been closed due to peak population numbers.
The jurisdiction count this morning stood at 54 or 87 percent for Defiance County; 44 or 88 percent for Fulton County; 29.5 or 76 percent for Henry County; 183.5 or 93 percent for Lucas County; 253 or 104 percent for the City of Toledo; and 40 or 80 percent for Williams County.
CCNO will not accept offenders from the City of Toledo until they drop to or below their bed allocation or the facility population drops to 90 percent or 578.
When CCNO reaches 95 percent or 610 for one day, it results in closing the doors to those jurisdictions exceeding their allocations. In addition, those jurisdictions with inmate populations above 90 percent are asked to consider granting early releases for eligible inmates.
