Why is the County Jail “Pre-Booking Customers”

So it seems that in great anticipation of having a new “customer” (I guess that’s the new name for inmates) Snohomish County Pre-Books, folks now.

Evidently Sandy Zarelli (who we were told is the former Senator Zarelli’s sister) was picked up in Post Falls Idaho on a warrant for pills to be extradited to SnoCo but she only made it to Spokane.

Keep in mind that even though she is showing up as being in the jail she has not made it here yet

With all of the lawsuits tax payers are on the hook for regarding the jail and a very strapped budget: Why is the jail pre-booking folks who are not in it and why are we the taxpayers paying to ship someone from another state for pills?
