Scam Alert

Scams continue as always. Recently, family members of inmates have received calls from people posing as employees of our detention center or the court system. They offer to release inmates via electronic monitoring or house arrests in exchange for fees/money for these non-applicable programs. This is a scam.

BCSD will never ask for money over the phone nor will we ever cold call family members for money. Be aware.
