Jailer White, 911 Director Upchurch at Budget Meeting 2017-04-11 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Adair County Regional Jailer Joey White, left, defended the jail's budget at a meeting Monday, April 10, 2017 of the Fiscal Court Budget Committee. His report followed that of Adair County 911 Director Jason Upchurch. Both officials said that budgets should continue to improve with recent salary adjustments which brought Adair County in line, or better, than neighboring counties. No action was taken on changing allocations for the jail. Jailer White said that while currently the jail is operating well within its budget, that could change to a deficit if State Prisoners are removed, and noted that Adair County's facility is the third most overcrowded in the state, after Bell and Lincoln Counties.
