Lackawanna County Prison Board may request jail review after misconduct allegations

The Lackawanna County Prison Board may request another agency perform a top-to-bottom review of the county jail after the latest round of investigations into sexual misconduct allegations at the facility wrap up. Lackawanna County Judge Vito Geroulo, chairman of the prison board, said he plans to recommend the panel ask the state Department of Corrections to study the facility when the “appropriate” time comes – meaning the new review wouldn’t overlap with efforts by prosecutors.
