Notes on the record
- The county's detention page is roughly two decades stale — it still cites fiscal-year 2006–2007 revenue and projects scheduled for 2007–2008. Its capacity and contract list need confirming before anyone relies on them.
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Goshen County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
