IDAHO FALLS — It takes around 110 people to staff the Bonneville County Jail with employees booking, processing, feeding and taking care of inmates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The jail has 533 beds but around 70 more will be added later this year as the facility expands and becomes the second largest jail in the state of Idaho.
The Bonneville County Jail is home to the Wood Court project, a problem-solving court rehabilitation program, along with work release and work detailing programs.
We decided to take a closer look at what it takes to work as a deputy inside the jail. Watch the video in the player above.
