PITTSBURGH -- Channel 4 Action News has confirmed that a select number of nonviolent inmates will be released from the Allegheny County Jail in order to make room for possible arrests during the G-20 economic summit.

The Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas is looking at inmates who are nearing their parole or whose bails may have been set too high, said Allegheny County Director of Communications Kevin Evanto.

The number of inmates released will be between 100 and 200, Evanto said.

There is no word when the bulk of the releases are set to begin.
