Jail lobby closure set

SANDPOINT — The lobby at the Bonner County Jail will be closed from July 10-14 to accommodate a construction project.

The adjacent Bonner County Sheriff’s Office lobby, however, will be open 24 hours a day during the jail lobby project. A phone will be available for contacting jail staff should the need arise.

All court-ordered and Drug Court substance abuse testing will be conducted at the Bonner County Courthouse.

Fingerprinting will resume after the week-long closure of the jail lobby.

There will be no lobby visiting, although remote visits through the Telmate system will still be available. To access Telmate, visit www.gettingout.com.

“Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while we improve the safety and access to our jail lobby for the general public,” said Undersheriff Ror Lakewold.
