Minnehaha County Jail Expansion

Expansion to the existing county jail in Sioux Falls, SD. Henry Carlson Construction and JE Dunn Construction built the project together as a joint venture.

Highlights included:

  • Added 320 beds to the downtown Minnehaha County Jail, resulting in 720 secure beds in a single location
  • Replaced (with new construction) the aging/outdated sallyport, intake & release, jail medical, jail administration, master control, 24-7 program area, jail lobby/visitation areas which are all currently housed in the Public Safety Building.
  • Construction added one additional floor to the current 4 stories of the downtown jail, plus a three floor jail addition to include additional inmate housing and all of the jail related support areas.

We are excited to announce that we are now part of JE Dunn Construction.
