Four Coffee County offices are housed in the Justice Center building in Manchester and have had storage issues for some time. The offices are the Circuit Court Clerk, Chancery Court, Clerk and Master, Youth Services, and Probation. Coffee County officials are trying to improve the situation by transforming some of the cell blocks at the old jail into storage rooms to be used by county offices. The old jail is located next to the Justice Center building.
The intent is for the offices to move some of the older files to the soon-to-be-renovated storage area at the old jail. Three cells have been cleaned up and painted to allow the circuit court clerkâs office to move older files to the old jail for storage and officials are waiting for more room to be made in six cells for the other offices.
