Undocumented migrants contributing to overcrowded Martin County jail, sheriff says

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — Martin County Sheriff William Snyder said his jail was already overcrowded.

However, he said the number of undocumented individuals arrested or detained has made a bad situation worse.

According to the sheriff's office, about 70 inmates were forced to sleep on the floor of the jail's common area Thursday night because of overcrowding.
