The Isanti County Jail and Work Release are parts of the Isanti County Sheriff's Office. Isanti County added on to the former jail that was built in 1984. In 2005 the addition was finished.

The former jail housed 39 prisoners. The new addition has the potential to house 112 prisoners. Isanti houses up to 20 out-of-county prisoners at a rate of $55.00 per day. The jail consists of male and female prisoners. They have medium security, maximum security, Work Release (the "Huber" and STS/Sentence to Serve units), and a kitchen.

In keeping with progressive philosophies in modern corrections, the Isanti County Jail offers a variety of voluntary self-improvement opportunities for inmates. Our jail's program coordinators arrange educational courses, chemical-dependency treatment, and religious service opportunities for inmates. Some of these programs include G.E.D. classes, Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and nondenominational religious services.
