HELENA â Itâs been just over a month since Lewis and Clark County leaders announced the completion of a long-awaited expansion at the county detention center. Most of the countyâs inmates who had been at other facilities have now been moved back, but leaders say the jail still isnât operating at full capacity.
The detention center was originally to hold 80 inmates, but had become severely overcrowded in recent years. The county often had between 95 and 115 inmates in the facility. Dozens more had to be transported to other facilities, particularly the detention centers in Broadwater and Gallatin Counties.
