Following Tuesday morning discussions and approval, the Christian County Jail and its staff will soon be implementing a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week healthcare service for its inmates. As of Tuesday, Smith said the Christian County Jail had 45 federal inmates with room to spare for additional arrests. It’s possible, he said, that Christian County will try to help Hopkins County with housing animals on a temporary basis. + Speaking of animals, Christian County Regional Animal Shelter Executive Director Melissa Goff said last month saw 443 incoming animals and 249 outgoing: 82 dogs, 59 puppies, 35 cats, 64 kittens, two rabbits, five guinea pigs and two ferrets. + Reminder: the Hopkinsville-Christian County Library open house is rolling from 4:30-6 PM this Thursday.
