Montana Jail: 10 Employees, 0 Prisoners

Montana jailThe Two Rivers jail in Hardin that had as many as 250 inmates at its peak of operations is now in standby mode after its cells were emptied this week.

 The jail had no inmates on Monday. The facility has struggled to find inmate contracts for revenue since the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs dropped its contract in October.

Warden Ken Keller says the jail is now operating with six security officers and four administrators. There were about 39 employees a month ago.
