Dallas County will now be sending their overflow inmates to Story County after a memorandum of understanding was approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Sheriff Chad Leonard says they began looking at Story County as an option after Polk County increased the amount they charge to $90 per inmate, per day.
The agreement with Story County comes at a cost of $55 per inmate, per day.
According to Leonard, as of Monday there were 85 Dallas County inmates being housed in other jails.
