Summary
Kansas City’s new $25.8 million jail, intended to accommodate the expected surge of visitors for the World Cup, will not be ready in time for the tournament. The facility was supposed to open on June 1, but delays in the manufacturer’s supply timeline and staffing issues have pushed back the opening. City officials had previously stated that the jail was necessary for the World Cup, but now claim it was always intended to address the city’s lack of a municipal jail since 2009.
Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Kansas City’s World Cup jail is a $25.8 million project that’s running behind schedule. The city manager’s office blames the manufacturer’s supply timeline and staffing issues. Councilman Wes Rogers now downplays the World Cup connection, saying it’s “loosely tied” to the project. The jail’s intended use is for low-level misdemeanor and ordinance violations. A local activist calls it a “waste of everyone’s money, time and energy.”
