Valley City (CSi)  The North Dakota Department of Corrections has  re-classified the Barnes County Jail, so the county can house inmates for 90 days.

Stipulations include extending the maximum incarceration time from four days to 90 days, and the jail can only have a maximum of 10 inmates at one time under the new reclassification.

Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin says the state relaxed their previous classification was due because the county is pursuing a plan to build a new jail to meet modern standard requirements.
