The Lackawanna County Prison Board meeting was called to order on October 21, 2026. The board approved the prior meeting’s minutes and, by motion, approved current payables for the prison and Community Corrections Center; the transcript gives no payable amount, vendors, or contract details. The controller reported no discrepancies in the August inmate and canteen account reconciliations. September balances were $470,124.17 in the inmate checking account and $400,773.76 in the canteen checking account; $103,645.39 was paid from the canteen account for inmate benefit, welfare, and education. Portions of the canteen balance were invested at annual rates of 4% and 4.05%, with maturities in January and February 2027.

Community Corrections reported September house-arrest caseloads and revenues, and the warden reported prison population, staffing, budget status, and incidents. In response to a question about the prison camera system, the warden said an outside company’s inspection found issues but reported no effect on system usability or camera viewing for situational purposes. The warden also said the necessary items had been ordered and were awaiting delivery and installation; no vendor, cost, or contract was identified. The board accepted the Community Corrections and warden reports. No other procurement awards or spending actions were identified.
