COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – After a busy last couple of weeks of bookings, no one new was booked into the Branch County Jail Tuesday. The lack of bookings also helped the crowded situation at the jail.
As of this morning, there were a total of 119 inmates at the jail. That included 19 females. Once the female inmate count gets over 22, Sheriff’s Department officials look to possibly transfer some of those inmates to the Calhoun County Jail. The facility in Battle Creek charges Branch County $35 per night for each inmate.
