Ramsey Co. officials say medical complaints at jail are ?shocking and appalling?
State officials say they had to step in after a complaint in January that the safety and health of people housed at the Ramsey County jail are at risk. The Minnesota Department of Corrections sent a letter Friday ordering Sheriff Bob Fletcher to cut the jail population immediately. He has until the close of business Monday to present a plan to the state on how he'll address overcrowding, staffing and providing medical care at the jail. The jail capacity must be reduced by noon on Wednesday, under the state?s order.
