The Guernsey County Justice Center and current jail was completed and started housing inmates in 1994. The Sheriff’s Office operates a “Full Service Jail” with a bureau of adult detention recommended capacity of 66 beds which include 54 males and 12 females. The Guernsey County Jail holds all inmates arrested by any law enforcement agency within the county. In 2018, we held 2,523 inmates which included 1,812 men and 711 women. The average daily population is 104 inmates with an average of 64 % felons and 36 % misdemeanor offenders most of the time. We operate a full service kitchen for food service which is inspected twice a year and serves approximately 83,252 meals annually. The county contracts with a licensed dietitian to ensure that each inmate gets the mandated caloric intake of 2400 calories daily at an average cost of $1.57 per meal. In April of 2016, the county contracted with premier physician services to provide health care in the jail. This includes a doctor visiting the jail once a week as needed along with a full time nurse and two part-time nurses. They have already saved the county money on inmate prescription costs and helps ensure the safety of the community by not having to transport as many inmates outside of the secured jail area for medical treatment. The jail is staffed by a jail administrator, shift corporals, and 17 very dedicated and professional corrections officers.
