The council received an update on a Securitecture LLC jail study outlining conceptual design and cost estimates for a new DeSoto County Jail Administrative Complex. The revised design, focused on scalability and consolidating departments, still carries an estimated cost of about $92.7 million, which county leadership described as currently insurmountable. The project is not yet funded or authorized, but the study defines scope and deficiencies. Architecture, engineering, construction, and financing advisors can engage as the county looks for ways to phase, fund, or resize this major capital project.
