The Jackson County Detention Center is also known as the Jackson County Correctional Facility. The Jackson County Detention Center is situated adjacent to the Jackson County Public Safety Building. The facility is also nearly one mile from the Jackson County Courthouse.

The facility was built back in November of 1991. The jail section of the building had to be approved by the State Department of Corrections. It was approved to house nearly 49 long-term inmates, 9 48-hour inmates, and 2 4-hour inmates, which brings the total up to a grand total of 72 inmates at one time.

The Jackson County Detention Center is NOT certified to house ANY juvenile inmates. The facility can only house adult inmates. They house both male and female inmates. By law, they need to separate the male and female inmate population.

The Jackson County Detention Center not only works with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. They also work with other law enforcement agencies including the County Correction facilities in North Carolina alongside the state prisons.

The Jackson County Detention Center offers its inmates a wide variety of programs and services. These include but not limited to the following:

• Adult Education
• Adult Social Services Programs
• Adult Work Programs
• Adult Community Service

These programs are designed to help inmates improve upon themselves to become productive members of society.
