The Detention Center offers various programs and services for the inmates during their incarceration. These include mental health, AA meetings, work release, and GED and religious services. In an effort to better serve the community, the Detention Center, as it exists today, was constructed in 1985. While it was built to house 46 inmates it has constantly had to house well in excess of 75 inmates for over a year.

Thanks to the residents of Sheridan County, an addition and remodel of the facility is currently under way. To view the construction as it progresses, please visit SCDC Remodel. This section of our site will be updated frequently, helping to ensure that you can see the progress we are making. (Download speed will vary depending on your connection) New photographs of the addition have been added as of March 01, 2006.
