York County Sheriff William “Bill” King, center, stands with the newly appointed York County Jail Board of Visitors. Maine law authorizes a sheriff to appoint a Board of Visitors to examine jail operations, with an emphasis on how jails handle inmates with mental illness. The board met for the first time Friday, and they were briefed on jail finances, toured York County Jail, and King said, experienced first-hand the jail food service. The Board of Visitors, from left to right, includes Acton selectman and teacher Ted Kryzak, attorney Amy Fairfield, former Saco Mayor Ron Michaud, Sheriff King, York County government Finance Director and jail volunteer Victoria Ridlon and attorney Eugene “Chip” Gaudette.
