The Cascade County Regional Detention Center is a regional jail facility that handles the intake from the Cascade County Sheriff’s arrests but also from several surrounding counties. The detention center was built in 1998 at a cost of $25 million. Since opening, it has booked more than 112,000 inmates. It has more than 370 beds, but routinely has more than 420 inmates, meaning some prisoners are sometimes left to sleep on the floor. The facility is funded through the county budget but also gets $69 a day for each of the more than 150 state prison inmates incarcerated there. Money also comes from housing federal prisoners, a practice stemming from Great Falls having a Federal Courthouse and a major airport.
Although The Cascade County Detention Center in Montana has a maximum capacity of 365 people. According to a news article from 2021, there were over 454 inmates housed there. Another news article from 2019 stated that the facility averages 475-500 inmates.
