Description
The deadline has passed for the Hennepin County Jail to reduce its jail population via an order from the Department of Corrections. A DOC report found the jail failed to meet minimum staffing levels and violated rules on routine wellness checks.
Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt has tried to appeal this ruling, but a first attempt was unsuccessful.
Whether the county has complied is still in flux. MPR News correspondent Matt Sepic has been following the story and joined the program to share where things stand.
