She said that one day she and her husband realized that their son, for whom they had such high hopes, was an addict and asked me what she should do, said Gray. Also speaking at the dedication ceremony was Belknap County Commission Chairman Dave DeVoy (R-Sanbornton), who chaired the Belknap County Jail Committee, which worked for two-and-a-half years to develop an alternate to a $40 million proposal to build a new jail and then design and build an $8 million facility.
