This maximum security facility is located within the city of Little Valley, in Cattaraugus County, and houses up to 148 inmates at a time. Both male and female inmates are held at Cattaraugus County Jail, and they are housed in separate housing units, both before and after their sentence has been determined.

All offenders, from misdemeanors to federal crime are housed here, and it is suitable not only for temporary holding during trials but for long sentences and even violent offenders.

There are two different housing styles in the building, both dorms and direct supervision pods that allow staff to interact directly with the inmates as well as linear bar sections for those who are at higher risk or facing more serious charges.
