Callaway County approved a sales tax measure to fund a transition to a full-service kitchen at the Callaway County Jail. The county selected Skillet Kitchens to provide food sourcing, preparation, and staffing services. The new kitchen equipment is estimated to cost around $300,000, allowing the jail to prepare meals from scratch instead of using prepackaged options.
