Corrections Division

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division provides jail services for all law enforcement agencies in Jefferson County. The jail facility was built in 1986 as part of the Jefferson County Justice Center complex in Port Hadlock, Washington. The facility was originally constructed to house 37 inmates, but has since been expanded to house an additional 12 minimum security inmates for a total of 49. The Justice Center complex houses the facilities for the adult criminal justice system. The jail handled approximately 1,240 bookings in calendar year 2002.
