Spokane Citys County Jail Bill Skyrockets: Mayor Orders Audit, Seeks More Oversight
Spokane Citys county jail bill for 2025 has surged over ten million dollars, exceeding the budget by three million. The switch to a new medical provider, Mediko, and rising labor costs are the main contributors to this increase. City leaders have ordered an independent audit to find savings and are pushing for more involvement in jail operations, including access to inmate tracking tools and a new oversight group. A task force is also working to improve communication between the city and county.
