jail renovation

The Benton County Sheriff wants to expand the number of intake cells at the jail to help accommodate an increase in the number of people dealing with mental health issues.

The renovation of the Stearns County Jail is finished. The remodel of the Stearns County Law Enforcement Center began back in December 2013. Phase one renovated the first floor to utilize the space vacated in 2009 by the St. Cloud police department.
