Detention and Court Services
Commanded by Major Mary Jerde
Adult Detention Division
We manage a jail that houses inmates before trial.
The jail holds up to 800 inmates at any given time and about 40,000 a year.
The jail is nationally accredited, keeping up with high standards of inmate custody and care. We also run an education program for inmates.
