The April 1 deadline for the merger between Jamesville Correctional Facility and the Onondaga County Justice Center has passed with no resolution, Sheriff Toby Shelley states.

Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon on Tuesday shared with a state commission his plan to close the Jamesville Correctional Facility and consolidate inmates and staff at the downtown Justice Center.

The letter dated February 3 confirms that it will conduct an "evaluation" of County Executive Ryan McMahon's consolidation plan with the Justice Center. It also makes it clear the commission's enforcement authority.

Sheriff Toby Shelley has said merging the inmates into the Justice Center downtown would put the facility dangerously close to overcrowding if inmates needed to be separated.

The measure effectively forces the closure of Jamesville after 40 years of operation.

The plan from the county executive's office calls for moving the corrections officers and inmates to the downtown justice center to address a staffing shortage.

The sheriff and city officials spoke to the ways and means committee about the proposed closure.
