    Beaufort County's government received a letter from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) advising a "clean bill of health" for the Beaufort County Jail, and is now ready for occupancy. The jail has been unoccupied for nearly 3 months due to a myriad of problems, but chief among them was a generator that was disengaged in favor of a "Green" generator that was installed to shave usage at peak periods rather than to perform the function that generators are designed to perform - to operate when the power is out.

    Unfortunately, current Beaufort County management was unaware of this dereliction of good management practices by the previous county manager, as was the county commissioners, until it was too late, which made it necessary to vacate the jail until the problem could be remedied. The county commissioners elected to use this time, when the inmates were vacated, to correct other deficiencies that were not problematic to the continuation of county jail's usage.

    Local city inspectors certified the jail for re-population before Monday's Commissioner's general meeting, September 9, 2013. Below, you may peruse the certification from DHHS that came on the 10th of September:
