State Dept. of Corrections orders Hennepin County to reduce number of inmates

 


*Hennepin County ordered to reduce inmate population to 600 (has capacity of 839)

*DOC cited them for not conducting well being checks every 30 minutes.

*DOC claims the Jail failed to have one staff per 25 inmates in the City Hall section of the jail on a few occasions.

Hennepin County Sheriff Witt is appealing this order and says "the jail is trying to increase jail staff by offering overtime pay and recruiting new detention deputies."
