Verde Valley AZ (December 2, 2015) – Late last month, YCSO Detention Services Staff again deployed inmate workers to provide clean up in high trash public right-of-ways of Yavapai County. The photos above portray an area off Forest Road 9618, west of Highway 260 near Thousand Trails Road, Cottonwood, where an abandoned camper shell and a large amount of trash had been dumped. The Sheriff’s Office plans to continue such efforts throughout the County. Recent projects include clean-up of the Doce Pit camping area – Prescott National Forest, ongoing trash removal over portions of Highway 260 in Camp Verde/Cottonwood, and trash laden areas around Black Canyon City.
Inmates allowed to participate in these various assignments are screened and considered minimum risk. Their compensation includes credit against the daily meal expense and a small weekly allowance.
Citizens can contact the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office with information or questions at 928-771-3260 or the YCSO website: www.ycsoaz.gov
