INTERESTING FACTS about the Henderson County Detention Center: The facility first opened in 2001 and contains 222 beds housed in five different housing units. The Henderson County Detention Center adjoins the local courthouse, so it makes it easy - and safe - to transfer inmates back and forth every day.
In 2022 the county voted to move ahead to build a new six-story 94,315-square-foot annex, plus expand the Detention Center, including a new 61,000-square-foot jail annex, major renovation work at the existing jail and minor renovation work including patching and paint, potential lighting replacement and electronic security upgrades. Most of the expansion is to provide space for more male inmates. The estimate has grown to $215 million, adding an additional 500 beds, but the county can't afford it. It could be years before something is done, so in the meantime the detention center is going to remain severely overcrowded.
The 222-bed Henderson County Detention Center is responsible for the housing and care of those who are accused or convicted of committing a misdemeanor or felony in Henderson County as they wait for their trial or as they serve their sentence, usually less than one year.
It serves many law enforcement organizations including the Sheriff’s Department, local police, Immigration, and other surrounding counties as needed.
If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 828-697-4955, and an online listing of all the detainees is published for your own investigation.
Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment.
Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks.
The Henderson County Detention Center also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills.
Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided.
Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit.
Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.
