The Sheridan County Detention Center was recently refitted to accomodate a little more than 120 inmates at any given time. Prior to that, our facility was designed to house approxiamtely 50 inmates. The remodel and addition that was recently completed has provided substantially more space and overcrowding in the facility has not been an issue.

The Detention Center offers various programs and services for the inmates during their incarceration. These include mental health, AA Meetings, work release, a GED Completion program, and religious services.
