View Comments
Cascade County Commissioners moved to end their lawsuit against the Montana Department of Corrections (DOC) concerning underpayment for housing of male state prisoners after reaching an agreement to relocate them, opening up approximately 100 beds at the facility, during the commission meeting Tuesday morning.
As part of the mutual agreement and settlement, Cascade County Detention Center will cease operation as a Great Falls Regional Prison, DOC and the county will enter a new reimbursement agreement at a rate of $69.63/per day/per offender housed there and the county will pay DOC a sum of $1.5 million.
