654 Yen BaynesThere are many needs in this community. The sense of safety, better education, better job prospects for our youth, more support for working families, the list goes on.. Putting a jail in our neighborhood would undermine all of those needs, the entire community would be burdened further by a lower sense of respect and even less pride in where we live. We need more community supports, not a jail. I am absolutely opposed to this jail and will vote accordingly in every election to come. Using our community as a site in which to incarcerate criminals is a huge disrespect to all of us. Why not put the jail in Magnolia or Queen Anne or Capitol Hill? BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THERE WOULD NOT LET YOU. Well, we will not let you put it here either.

658 SeanI find it surprising that anyone is even considering siting a jail in a neighborhood such as Highland Park. This neighborhood has tremendous potential that is actually beginning to be realized thanks to dedication and action of its residents. Should the decision be made to build a jail in or even near this neighborhood would show the blatant indifference officials have toward the people they are supposed to be serving.
659 Amoshaun ToftWe do not need this jail. What we need is a public debate about what kinds of community based solutions we already have and how we can better fund them.

667 Thomas AyeleA jail does not belong in highland park. I have a 14yr old niece that lives in our home and I would feel very uncomfortable with a institutional criminal influence so close. I understand that criminals must be punished via incarceration but innocent families should not have to bear the negative effects. I would strongly suggest that the city consider moving the facility further south on West Marginal Way further in a more desolate location far from family communities.

671 AnonymousWe need more schools, not another jail. Our young people need to be nurture and educate with high quality education system. Our education system is out of touch with our youth, this is a shame.
