BACKGROUND:

On April 29, 2014, Escambia County, Florida, experienced an unprecedented and unanticipated rainfall evert, which flooded portions of the Escambia County Jail and the Central Booking and Detention (CBD) Center. On April 30, 2014, an explosion occurred in the CBD, resulting in the evacuation and relocation of all inmates housed in the facility. On or about August 21, 2014, the parties entered into an MOA for the temporary housing of Escambia County inmates at the Walton County Jail.
