Luke said that once the Loudoun County facility is built, judges will be far more likely to sentence juveniles to detention. He said judges are reluctant to do so now because they know there is often no space available. Mr. Luke said he was certain the county could rent the bed to another county during days it is not needed to house Rappahannock juveniles.
Funds for the Loudoun facility are not currently included in the state budget. The state will pay half the cost of construction. Mr. McCarthy said Loudoun will not go ahead with building the detention center until funds are in the state budget but needed to know whether Rappahannock was interested in leasing a bed by Feb. 18.
The supervisors also approved trying out a system for monitoring juveniles electronically. Mr. McCarthy said it would cost $11 per day for a system that would enable courts to keep track of juveniles. They would have to wear an ankle device that would enable authorities to monitor their activities. The cost would include a system to require the juveniles to appear before a television set attached to a telephone to confirm their presence. The unit also includes a breathalizer to check for alcohol.
Mr. Luke said the juvenile judge expressed an interest in trying the electronic monitoring system.
Mr. McCarthy reported that officials with Rappahannock Electric Cooperative said engineering studies indicate the utility will be able to get reliable power to the Rixeyville substation from the Hazel switch. He said he felt REC would not try to pursue the new transmission line through Rappahannock County from Sperryville.
