Sheriff Candidate Shane Manwaring’s Plans for Salt Lake Jails

A state audit released last December showed what those releases have cost, and lawmakers heard the findings again this month. The jail is still close to full, and the upcoming sheriff's race will decide what to do about it. Doers-endorsed candidate Shane Manwaring has made that decision the center of his campaign. Here’s his plan to fix the problem.
