Hennepin runs their own STS. Just increased crew size from two clients to five, still following some COVID precautions with regards to wearing masks when in the van.

We run our own STS crew at Crow Wing. We used to have two crews ran by the State, then it went to 1 crew, which was funded partly by both the county and state. Now we have no official crew leader and we just have 1 crew that gets placed with our city parks or highway department that the workers pick up and supervise. These workers have to go through our PREA training to be able to transport. Works well!

In Otter Tail County we run our own STS crew. We just filled our vacant STS crew leader position so we have a total of two crew leaders. We were given the green light to open STS in May, however, the judges have not been sentencing people to STS. They have been sentencing to community service in lieu of jail time, so we haven't had anybody sentenced to serve enough jail time to get a crew started. We had to get word to the judges that we were open to STS to they can sentence people to STS. We have not opened up our work release and have no anticipated start date for that.
Any questions reach me at 218-998-8576

Benton HAD STS with State forever, preCOVID and on / off during.. We have close our contract with the State on June 30th, 2021.
We are just now moving to COUNTY FUNDING Work Crew Leader position. This position can will work in the Jail when we do not have STS applicants. We need more staff!!
We are in transition and it may take a couple months to get our new Crew Leader trained in and having contracted work set up for our STS individuals.

We have our own STS crew with some DOC funding. We are back up and running but are having a hard time assembling a crew because of quarantine and alternative sentencing etc. Right now we have 1 crew member. We have been doing work release all along but keep them quarantined for their entire stay.
