Citizens of Twin Falls County are being asked to volunteer to serve on an advisory committee to help decide on the best way to expand the county jail and court facility
The Jerome County Jail is expected to obtain more inmates in its facilities after Jerome County Commissioners signed a contract with Twin Falls County on Monday to rent out bed space for its inmates.
Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter says Jerome County officials should not be swayed by possible legal challenges as they consider a contract leasing out space in the county's new jail to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
