Presumed positive : Canyon County jail skips coronavirus testing for different approach Ruth Brown, The Idaho Statesman
Dec. 22 The Ada County Jail, which has housed roughly 900 people daily in December, had conducted 3,088 coronavirus tests among inmates as of Dec. 18, and 373 of them were positive.
The jail in Twin Falls County, which houses up to roughly 200 inmates daily, had done 671 coronavirus tests as of Dec. 17, and 287 were positive.
At the Canyon County jail, meanwhile, where roughly 400 people are in custody each day, there have been only four inmates tested for the coronavirus since the pandemic reached Idaho. The dearth of testing is in direct contradiction to recommendations from the state of Idaho and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but the jail has taken a different approach.

Ex-Valley County Undersheriff Luke Strommen was sentenced to 40 years in the Montana State Prison on Tuesday for repeatedly raping a 14-year-old girl. Missoula District Judge John Larson handed down the sentence while allowing for the possibility of parole after 10 years served.
Strommen was found guilty after a jury trial determined he had initiated a non-consensual sexual relationship with the victim when she was 14 and that he continued raping her for years while working as a Valley County Sheriff s deputy. The girl testified that the assaults began while Strommen was on his way to the academy and repeated multiple times over two years. Some of the assaults had even occurred inside Strommen s patrol vehicle.
