A brief commissioners court meeting in Fisher County this morning yielded a tidbit of information when Sheriff Tom Pohlman reported a problem transferring incident tracking numbers.
"We've had some issues with our TRN numbers, and getting numbers, because of the transfer of the jail to Jones County, and we seem to have a plan now in place to resolve this," Pohlman stated during the meeting.
Fisher and Jones County Commissioners agendas and meeting minutes do not mention an agreement for housing inmates between the two counties, but evidence points to there being one.
Cross-referencing between the Fisher County inmate list and VINE records, six of the nine inmates were shown to have been transferred from Scurry County on Sept 11. VINE does not say where they were transferred to, but the sheriff's comment indicates Jones County.
Prisoners have been kept at the Scurry County facility for the past year or so. Fisher County closed their jail in August 2023, and it has been used as a 72 hour detention center since that time.
