Madison County judges have adopted two rules in an effort to reduce the number of inmates being housed in local correctional facilities. Effective immediately, people in the jail on a probation violation for more than 14 days will appear before a criminal magistrate. And, criminal magistrates would be assigned people incarcerated on a Level 6 felony charge for 30 days or more. This comes after the county council decided to hire a case manager to track court cases, a move that the Madison County judges do not support.
