Earlier this week, Cass County Sheriff Jeff Weber and Captain Barbarick gave a tour of the new sallyport, booking room and booking cells at our jail.
All funding for this $6.1 million project comes from the American Rescue Plan Act. Commissioners approved a resolution to fund the project in August 2023. The jail now has six booking desks after over twenty years of having just two.
There are also 12 new cells in the booking block, which adds capacity. The entire booking area will also have negative air pressure to help stop the spread of communicable diseases.
Newkirk Novak Construction Partners has this project on time and under budget. Phase 2 of the jail buildout began earlier this week.
