The commission recommended a one‑year, $5.8M contract (with two one‑year renewals) for Aramark to manage food services at two Shelby County jails. Commissioners pressed the sheriff's office on meal cost (~$1.99), staff pay ($17–$22/hour), grievance rates, and program supports including ServSafe certification for detainees.
