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

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

The Wahkiakum 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.
