Cole County Jail

The Jail Division is responsible for the care, custody, control and transportation of inmates in the Cole County Detention Center. The Cole County Detention Center holds an average of 130 - 140 inmates a day. We are currently capable of holding 207 inmates, with space for future expansion that could double that number. We book in over 6,000 people a year. This is all done with a staff of 33 full-time Detention Deputies and Jailers, and 12 part-time Detention Deputies and Jailers.
