A garden built and
tended by inmates of
the Payne County jail is
providing more than fresh
vegetables, it's providing
a feeling of pride among
those who work it. Jail
Supervisor Reese lane
said he had been thinking
about the possibility of
starting a garden program
for a while when Sheriff
R.B. Hauf brought the
idea up.

A new agreement between
Perkins Police Department
and the Payne County Jail
went into effect this week.
Perkins Police Chief Bob
Ernst said the agreement
was approved last month
by both Perkins City Com-
mission and Payne County
Commission, and it offi-
cially went into effect on
Monday, June 11.
"Basically, the agree-
ment is that Payne County
Jail will house all of our
municipal and district court
prisoners," Ernst said.
Perkins' last jail agree-
ment was with the Iowa
Tribe Police Department,
but a fire at the tribe's
emergency services build-
ing left the department
without a location to take
its prisoners, Ernst said.
The new agreement is
also a bit different than the
prior jail plan because it will
allow prisoners to be held
longer.
"Before, due to limited
cell space, our prisoners
could be held for only 72
hours at the Iowa Tribe jail
before they'd be released,"
Ernst said. "That's not
how it is now. Prisoners
will now stay in jail until
they're bonded out or take
care of it through the court
system."
Ernst said he is pleased
to have the new agreement
in place and hopes those
t III mill
who have open warrants
will take steps to get their
matters cleared up with the
court.
"We will start actively
pursuing those people who
have outstanding warrants
and get them taken care of,"
Ernst said. "We are going to
begin serving city warrants
and transporting people to
the Payne County Jail.
"It seems as if there
has been a 'feeling' or a
'notion' that people do
not have to pay Perkins
fines or comply with the
court because we have not
had a jail agreement, and
the threat or possibility of
being incarcerated was not
there. Now, there is a jail
agreement."
Ernst also reports the
police department is now
being dispatched out of the
Payne County Sheriff's
Office.
"Sheriff Hauf and his staff
have been so good to work
with in getting these agree-
ments put into place," the
chief said.
Ernst also commended the
Iowa Tribe Police Depart-
ment for their assistance,
and reports his office con-
tinues to work closely with
the ITPD.

Police Department out-
