Ramsey County jail to start transferring inmates to other facilities following DOC order to cut population

On Tuesday, Ramsey County’s jail will start transferring inmates to another county facility, as well as other locations across the state. The Minnesota Department of Corrections, or DOC, set the close of business on Monday as the deadline for Sheriff Bob Fletcher to present his plan on how he will reduce the population of the Adult Detention Center. Fletcher declined FOX 9’s request for an interview Monday afternoon but shared his office’s plans.
