Suspension of visits to the AC jail includes the Class D prisoner facility on Campbellsville Street, Columbia. And it also temporarily closes the inmate free labor program until further notice. Free labor has been being provided, saving both the city and the county hundreds of thousands of dollars, in the areas of recycling, road department, animal shelter, litter pick up, mowing of public places, city maintenance and sanitation, city parks and rec, the Jim Blair Center and senior citizens center. Jailer Joey White believes the class D program is an asset to both the county and the city and helps the inmates with work credit, making their sentences shorter, and giving them experience and skills training to learn a trade for when they get out.
