CARVER COUNTY, Minn. – A Minnesota sheriff received an unusual letter from an inmate held at a detention facility in Carver County. The incarcerated individual thanked the sheriff for his overall treatment at the facility and its “safe environment for personal reflection and growth.”
“I wanted to bring to your attention that the cleanliness and overall maintenance of this facility is exceptional,” the letter noted, according to the Idaho Statesman. The letter was dated Jan. 3 and posted online on Monday.
“Also, your bailiffs, program staff and all corrections officers have been nothing short of patient, respectful and encouraging; adding humor on the days when it’s needed most,” the missive continued.
The letter was opposite of what the Carver County sheriff’s office normally receives and officials took to Facebook in order to praises the staff at the facility, the Idaho Statesman reported.
