Impact analysis
Jail food and commissary contracts renewed with no price changes, plus a $300,000 grant application to offset law enforcement costs.
Detention center inmates and staff, and county taxpayers if the grant is awarded.
No group is explicitly called out as harmed, but detainees moved farther from OKC could face extra hassle for family visits and attorney access.
