Sheriff's Department holds open house for new jail pod

(From the Jasper County Sheriff's Department)

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office had an open house at the jail, 405 E. 5th Street, in Carthage, Monday, December 22 to mark the opening of a new jail pod.

This remodel project has been underway for the past six months and will add an additional 20 beds to
the jail. This dormitory-style housing unit will be opened to begin housing inmates in the following week. This remodel project was undertaken so that we could take advantage of previous underutilized
areas within the secure areas of the jail.
