Cost Savings of In-House Treatment
These are treatment modalities performed in the jail clinic by the medical provider and include approximate costs of these services if they were to occur at an outside clinic setting instead of the jail. In other words, they are savings the county has received with MEnD in place. These are estimated costs and are very conservatively priced at $200 per visit. Real savings are expected to be far more.
Please note, that chemical withdrawal visits and suicide/special precaution visits include the number of patients that were seen by the jail nurses and the medical provider(s). These visits often result in special treatments and/or precautions as indicated by protocol and by discussion with the medical provider who may not be in the building. Suicide/Special Precaution visits are conservatively priced at $200 per visit. Chemical Withdrawal visits are conservatively priced at $800 per visit, which is far below the average price of a detox stay for a jail inmate.

Statewide Development Opportunities
Jail AcademyIn response to MN Rules Governing Adult Detention Facilities concerning training of new correctional staff in very specific topics the “Academy” was born. Recognizing that specialized training was difficult for most Sheriff’s Offices because of lack of uniform training standards, curriculums, qualified trainers and organized evaluation methods the MN Sheriff’s Association took the leadership role in developing an academy. A committee was formed made up of correctional professionals across the state to develop lesson plans identify professionals in the field to become trainers, coordinate the development and operation of the academies. Nobles County has been an active member on this committee from the beginning.
The NCJ has had 2 graduates in 2015 who received training in the following areas:
First-line Supervisors Training Interpersonal Communication Gangs and Threat Groups Medication Delivery Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Use of Force Inmate Supervision Inmate Con Games Social Cultural Lifestyles Report Writing Conducting Searches Infection Control Suicide Awareness Medical Emergencies
Five staff have been trained to be trainers for the academy.
As a result of NCJ staff involvement with this project we were able to convert an estimates 68 hours of their time into training credit to be used for other MSA sponsored training in 20154.
Jail Administrator’sConference Committee
This year NCJ has a member on the Jail Administrators Conference Committee. This member will work with other Corrections Professionals from around the state to develop a training curriculum for Sheriff’s, Jail Administrators and other seniors Correctional Professionals around the state. This assignment offers a unique opportunity for professional development by encouraging staff to network with other agencies who share the same challenges and often new understanding.
West Central/5th DistrictCorrectional Officers Conference
NCJ has been an active participant in developing and organizing meaningful training opportunities for veteran staff. Two identical conferences are held each year sponsored and hosted by the West Central and the 5th District Jail Administrator’s Associations. We have been able to send staff on a biannual basis. This allows line staff the opportunity to attend quality training while networking with their peers. In 2015, 280 correctional officers around the state attended these conferences nine were from the NCJ.
