Madison County Jail Getting Cameras Upgrade

The camera system at the Madison County Jail is being upgraded. Authorities say footage captured by those cameras can be used in criminal investigations involving inmates and as a defense for correctional officers if inmates allege abuse. The Herald Bulletin reports a $110,000 appropriation has been okayed for the upgrade. Currently, the lock up has 110 cameras, but the system has had issues with recordings of what the cameras shoot.
