Commission considers cable at county jail
1:30 p.m. Monday, December 29, 2008
Inmates at Shawnee County jail and the juvenile detention center could be without television starting February 17 because the TVs at those facilities receive only analog signals that won't be around after that date.
The County Commission is considering a request to pay for cable service that would resolve the problem.
But the estimated cost of installing the necessary equipment and pay initial charges for cable television service is estimated at more than $5,000.
Corrections director Dick Kline has asked the commission to develop specifications and solicit bids for limited cable service to corrections department buildings.
In a memo last week, Kline said the department provides only antenna-driven access to local TV stations.
Commissioners plan to consider Kline's request on Monday.
