The Washington County Jail is in Blair, Nebraska. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is the law enforcement agency that is responsible for operating and managing the Washington County Jail.

The Washington County Jail is a medium-security detention center. The facility holds inmates who are awaiting trial, waiting to be sentenced, or already have been sentenced. Inmates who have already been sentenced will carry a sentence for less than two years.

The Washington County Jail will take in inmates from the surrounding municipalities, towns, and even the Blair Police Department. The Blair Police Department does not have their own longer-term lockup area, so they use the Washington County Jail for the individuals who they arrest.

The Washington County Jail accepts new inmates to the facility on a daily basis. Some inmates will be released due to them finishing their sentence, posting bail, or being placed on probation, or just being released on their own as an agreement with appearing for their court date.

Inmates can build up their trust in the facility. Trust inmates can be trusted with jobs such as laundry personnel, commissary, cooks, and orderlies. These jobs will pay a small salary and they can even shave off a few days from their sentences as well.
