In August of 2002, $31,085 was paid <br />for housing our inmates. Today, Monday, August 16, we <br />continue to have 25 inmates housed at facilities other <br />than our own, at an average cost of $50 per inmate per <br />day. Our prisoner population in our new facility today <br />was 168. <br /> <br />The following is an explanation of what we are currently <br />doing to manage our population: <br /> <br />The new jail was designed to house inmates according to <br />their charge and behavior. It was set up to separate our <br />maximum custody from our minimum custody inmates by the <br />different pods. Here is a list of the pods and what they <br />were meant to be used as and what they are being used as. <br /> <br />- Work release dorm is a 48 bed dormitory sekting. It is <br />designed to house minimum restriction inmates who leave <br />the facility for work/school/or treatment programs daily. <br />They all have different schedules and hours they work. <br />Right now the two 8 bed dorms are housing minimum <br />security inmates that do not qualify for the above <br />programs. These inmates are, however, getting the same <br />type of privileges as the inmates that are on the work <br />release program. For example, access to the television, <br />phones and commissary whenever they want it. <br /> <br />- Charlie pod is designed for females. There are four <br />units in this pod designed to house minimum, medium and <br />maximum custody. Right now we have minimum males and <br /> <br /> 211 9th St. S. <br /> Box 488 <br />Fargo, North Dakota 5810743488 <br />www.¢o.cass.nd.as/shefiff <br /> <br /> <br />
