Jefferson County Jail to house federal inmates

MT. VERNON, IL. (WJPF) – The Jefferson County Jail has been approved to house federal inmates again.
The Mt. Vernon facility stopped the practice a few years ago following concerns over the care the inmates were receiving.
The first of the new federal residents are expected to arrive by the end of the month. Housing inmates for the federal government could bring in up to $900,000 annually.
