Grant County has no independent jail

This changed. Grant County does not appear to operate its own jail. No jail/corrections page or department exists on the county's official site (grantcountymn.gov); the Sheriff's Office page there covers patrol/DARE/records but no detention facility. When the county built a new Law Enforcement Center (Grant County Herald, July 2023), then-Sheriff Jon Combs was quoted saying 'demand for building new prisons and jails is low' while explaining the new building covers 'law enforcement, fire and medical services' — implying it does not include a jail. Local reporting (Grant County Herald, Dec. 2020, 'Murder putting stress on Sheriff's budget') states a Grant County defendant 'is currently being held in Douglas County,' and a Douglas County Jail booking record lists 'GRANT COUNTY' as the arresting agency for another inmate — both indicating Grant County uses the Douglas County Jail (Alexandria, MN) for detention. I could not find an explicit written contract confirmation on either county's official website; recommend calling the Grant County Sheriff's Office (218-685-8280) to confirm the current jail-services arrangement in writing.
