This expansion shows that demand for jail space in Macon County has been going up.

Part of the reason for the added capacity is that Macon County also houses male inmates from Linn County, which no longer has its own jail.

When someone is released from the Macon County jail, whether they were arrested locally or came from Linn County, the release gets logged in the system.
