Black Belt News Network's Todd Prater got a tour of the Dallas County Jail to see progress since it was damaged in the January 2023 tornado through a tour with Sheriff Mike Granthum. The department says it is still not repaired. Dallas County Commissioners sent a statement after this segment aired saying $12 million has been spent and listed properties that have been repaired on the jail's campus. See blackbeltnewsnetwork.com for that update to this segment of the Black Belt Newscast that aired at 11:30 a.m. Friday.
