The Chippewa County MN Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 629 North 11th St Montevideo, MN which is operated locally by the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Chippewa County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Montevideo Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

"Huber Law" or work release allows a person sentenced to jail to work at their regular place of employment during their normal working hours but they must return to the jail during their non-working hours. This opportunity is available at the discretion of the court and the inmate must pay the County $25 per work day for this privilege.

D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It is a 17-week (one hour per week) program for fifth or sixth grade students taught by specially trained uniformed law enforcement officers. D.A.R.E. was created in Los Angeles, California in 1983 to teach pre-teens the skills necessary to resist drug experimentation. D.A.R.E. lessons focus on providing accurate information about drugs and alcohol, teaching students decision- making skills, and showing them how to resist peer pressure, alternatives to drug use and ways to improve self-esteem.
