The county built this new jail, Carey Winders Detention Center Annex a few years ago. The Wayne County Detention Center, the main jail, was built in 1994. This new building has 140 beds and the county said the facility was needed because the seven-story Wayne County Detention Center was in need of electronic, surveillance and internet modernization that are financially impractical due to its older structural design.
The main detention center attached to the courthouse originally housed 127 inmates when it opened, but has had a population as high as 258. There are plans down the road to use the old building for office space when they get around to replacing this building, which could be as soon as 2025.
The Sheriff's Office operates a mobile jail cell for educational reasons and it is available to the public for special events. This demonstration is targeted toward young people to be a deterrent toward criminal behavior. The Wayne County Detention Centers, combined, at this time average approximately 340 inmates every day. The Main Detention Center has a total of 221 beds, comprised of three 64-man 'open' pods and one 29-man pod with individual cells, and the Carey A. Winders Detention Center Annex has 140 beds.
Providing emotional support for someone who is incarcerated at the Wayne County Detention Center is critical to their well-being. Even short visits via remote visitation can be critical for them in getting through the ordeal of being incarcerated.

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Carey A. Winders Detention Center Annex uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Carey A. Winders Detention Center Annex first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
