Briefly speaking, last year 19,267 prisoners were booked into the Ramsey County Jail. These prisoners <br />were booked by the following agencies: <br />Mounds View 227 1% <br />New Brighton 272 1% <br />White Bear Lake 206 1% <br />North St. Paul 191 1% <br />Sheriffs Dept. - Suburban Arrests 1485 7% <br />Roseville 664 3% <br />Maplewood 923 5% <br />Mn. State Patrol 888 5% <br />Misc. 826 4% <br />Sheriffs Dept. - St. Paul Arrests 3912 21% <br />St. Paul Police 9673 50% <br />Total 19,267 <br />Approximately one third of these prisoners were released in a few hours on their own recognizance or <br />after posting bail. Another one third are released in one to three days following an arraignment court <br />appearance and the posting of bail. The final one third who are not able to post immediate bail are held <br />in the Adult Detention Center near the Courthouse pending trial and sentencing. <br />The current plan calls for the continuance of the existing Adult Detention Center and the addition of a <br />new facility containing 144 cells and a booking and identification function. It is hoped that the <br />arraignment court will also be held at this new location. Under any concept, it is likely that between <br />6,000 and 13,000 prisoners will be released each year from wherever the new facility is located. <br />There are of course other factors that you will wish to consider. If the Sheriffs Department can provide <br />additional information or be of any other assistance, please feel free to contact me at 266 -9333. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Fletcher <br />Sheriff, Ramsey County <br />Page 164 <br />
