The Kentucky man credited with innovative jail construction and operational methods is being remembered. Ray Sabbatine died earlier this week at the age of 74.
For years, Ray Sabbatine’s name in Lexington was synonymous with new ideas in corrections. He was the last to be Fayette County jailer and the first to head the Division of Community Corrections. Lexington Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Glenn Brown worked in corrections for 29 years, much of it with Sabbatine.
