The Houston County jail is being utilized again. After a year or two of pivoting and trying to figure out if the new county jail should remain open, things seem to be falling into place.
It had been a consistent source of revenue for years with a Winona County contract. But Winona County built its own jail in 2023 and no longer needed their inmates housed in Houston County’s jail. Completed in 2011, the Houston County jail’s final payment won’t happen until late 2030 or early in 2031.
Sheriff Brian Swedberg, third from left in front row, and the Houston County Sheriff's Office operate the county jail.
