    Sullivan County will break ground on its new jail in June.
       The ceremony is scheduled for Monday, June 13th at 10:00 A.M. directly east of the Sullivan Automotive Group which is in the 2400 block of North Section Street in Sullivan.
       Sheriff Clark Cottom says the facility will be built on a 16-acre site allowing for future expansion if necessary.
       Sheriff Cottom says the current 54-bed facility, built in 1983, has been overcrowded.
       He says pre-pandemic numbers were trending as high as 120 inmates.
