He calls the program restorative justice.”We get to reduce our jail population, but also get to see to it that things that the community needs done are also getting done,” Salazar said.He said that a cleanup outside the jail will be a part of Saturday’s initial session.“I can see this expanding out to possibly doing some roadside cleanup, graffiti cleanup and maybe even doing some work with some of the nonprofits here in town,” Salazar said.Copyright 2020 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
