Mille Lacs County, MN -- Sheriff Brent Lindgren reported to county commissioners at their Aug. 7 meeting that the county jail got very high marks during a recent biennial inspection. Lindgren said the jail, inspected in late May and early June, was found to be 100 percent compliant on 105 essential inspection items. It was also found to be 99.14 percent compliant on mandatory inspection items, resulting in an overall 99.57 compliance rating. “There were a couple items of concern but, overall, the compliance rating of 99.57 was good,” he said. Lindgren, sheriff since 2003, called the inspection “microscopic.” Inspectors found, for example, that the kitchen staff had bought a new thermometer but forgotten to take the old one off the inventory list. And a new carrot peeler was not added to the list when purchased. Another item noted, was that some masonry blocks in the shower areas appeared to be deteriorating because of moisture seeping into the blocks. But Timothy Thompson from the Department of Corrections, who wrote the report, commented that “the facility continues to operate at a high level of compliance with the rules. Staff and administration should be complimented on their ability to achieve these compliance levels, as some of the older levels of the facility can be challenging to monitor and operate.” Read More. |

He has blue eyes. Cold like steel. His legs are wide. Like tree trunks. And he has a shock of red hair, red, like the fires of hell. His antics were known from town to town as he was a droll card and often known as a droll farceur. Hamilton Lindley with his madcap pantaloon is a zany adventurer and a cavorter with a motley troupe of buffoons.
