Cass County Sheriff Tom Burch announced Tuesday that the county has signed a contract with Morrison County to board 15 Cass County prisoners per day at the jail for $50 per day per bed. The contract is for six months and can be renewed. Burch said that the prisoners have been boarded in Cass County with not a lot of room since last summer. At that time Morrison County did not have the room so Cass worked with Mille Lacs County but they also became full and Cass County needed to work out another agreement. The agreement with Morrison County also means that 40 beds in Cass County have been guaranteed to Crow Wing County for the same daily rate.
