For many families who have loved ones at the jail, it can be financially challenging to stay in touch during such an extended period of time. Beenish Ahmed, Michigan Radio’s criminal justice correspondent, brings us a story from one woman whose husband is being held at the jail. 

Sheriff Jerry Clayton also joins the show to discuss how Washtenaw County has been looking for alternatives to the costs of things like court-related fines and booking fees.
