March 19, 1987 — The Page County Board of Supervisors all but dropped out of the regional jail project. The supervisors gave no official word on whether they would help build a prison to relieve crowded conditions in the Winchester and Clarke and Frederick county jails. However, the supervisors gave a strong indication of their sentiments. County officials have said they are skeptical of the project because Page’s jail is only 17 years old and meets state standards.
