What are some common problems with rural jails in America?

What will be an ideal response?


Rural jails are often challenged by tight budgets and limited training for staff. County-level governments tasked with operating jails do so amid a number of problems, both financial and political. As a result, the regional training facility frequently has instructors travel to the jail facility itself to train persons, though this still affects county budgets since staff members must be paid while attending the training (an additional expenditure) and they must stay late after work or arrive prior to their work shift.
