Episode Details

Tulsa is shutting down its municipal jail by July 31, relocating detainees to a new Public Safety Center as part of a plan to transform the downtown site into a convention center hotel. The city is racing to move most of the remaining 11 inmates by the end of the week, while negotiating a new overflow agreement with Tulsa County to ensure a smooth transition. With support from some city councilors who emphasize the need for better medical and mental health care, the city is focused on finalizing logistics — including cost details — as the jail’s population has already dropped from 60 to 11 since Friday.
