About the Jail Facility

Originally designed to house 72 inmates with a special detention unit, the Jail now operates with a bed capacity of 120, and the special detention unit (SDU) has been remodeled to include a chain gang/inmate worker housing unit.
In 2009 corrections processed over 3,000 bookings of inmates with crimes ranging from Minor in possession to Murder 1.
