Inmates Back At Wabash County Jail Following Gas Leak

The 11 Wabash County Jail inmates that were transferred to the White County Jail this week have returned. On Tuesday, Sheriff Derek Morgan said the inmates were transferred after a gas leak in the jail’s basement was discovered. After the inmates were transferred to the Carmi jail, repairs to fix the leak were made and the inmates were  back in Mt. Carmel yesterday. Morgan said the leak cost the county $50 per day for each inmate to be housed in White County.
