Penobscot County Jail expansion rejected

Penobscot County residents voted against potentially relocating the county jail outside of Bangor. The referendum was rejected by a very slim margin, with under 150 ballots separating the vote.

Instead, Dunbar thinks efforts should focus on diversion and programming outside of the jail.
