Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca County Joint Solid Waste Management District Makes Donation to Sheriffs Inmate Work Program

    On Thursday, January 31, 2008, Tim Wasserman, the Director of the Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca County Joint Solid Waste Management District, presented a check for $1,000.00 to the Board of Ottawa County Commissioners. The presentation was made during Sheriff Brattons monthly update to the Commissioners on activities in the Sheriffs Office.

    The check was a donation for the work that is provided each year by the Inmate Work Program. The program uses jail inmates convicted of minor, non-violent crimes, to perform work on county projects at various locations. The program, started in 1999, is administered by Sheriff Bratton and the County Commissioners and is managed by Building and Grounds Superintendent Jim Adkins. Deputy Dean Hammer is assigned full time to the program and takes an average of six inmates from the detention facility each day to their work assignment. If additional inmates are available a second deputy and crew are assigned to other projects.

    Deputy Hammer and the inmates assist the Joint Solid Waste Management District several times a year when items are accepted for recycling at the county fairgrounds. The donation will be used for general expenses for the continued operation of the Inmate Work Program.
