$35 million expansion for Marshall County Jail

The current Marshall County jail was built to house fewer than 200 inmates, even though the facility often houses more than 300 at a time.
This new jail project will include a 250-bed expansion and a new medical unit with a classroom to help with mental health treatment among inmates.
The $35 million project is led by Carmon Construction. The project will take between two and three years to complete.
