The jail facility is relatively new, completed in 2003, and contains many features that allow for fewer staff than in older jails and that provide a high standard of safety and security for both staff and inmates.  The facility capacity is 102.

The detentions staff consists of eleven personnel: Jail commander, two sergeants, two corporals, detentions deputies, cooks, and a registered nurse.  Two court security deputies are also assigned to this unit.

The facility provides active work-release and home detention programs for minor offenders when the courts deem them appropriate. Persons convicted of crimes such as D.U.I and Domestic Violence receive classes as part of their sentence. Emphasis is placed on education and rehabilitation instead of punishment alone.
