One area jail has released some of its inmates because of the new distance requirements.
Franklin County Sheriff Tim Fuller says 26 non-violent offenders who were near the end of their sentence were released early.
None of the inmates tested positive for COVID-19. Sheriff Fuller added that this was simply a measure to free up space in the jail.
