Any inmates, felony or misdemeanor, who are being held for longer as they await trial or are serving a sentence will do so at a larger facility nearby that is able to provide full services.
By housing inmates at other locations, they are seeing a decrease in visits and contact with their support system including family and friends, which is key to the successful rehabilitation of inmates and their mental health. For this reason, the county is currently looking to expand Oxford County Jail in order to provide a full services jail.
Due to the length of stay inmates will not receive mail at this location, though they will have access for outgoing phone calls, and they will be able to receive mail, make phone calls, and receive visits if they are transferred to a larger facility.
