Located on a barren stretch of land and surrounded by concrete parking lots in Mitchell, South Dakota, the Davison County Public Safety Center is the home of the local 48 bed jail. The jail, built in the year 2000, is operated by the local sheriff, and just one of the many services that are provided and overseen by the sheriff’s office. An advanced security system is in place with videos that lead to the main control room, where each part of the facility can be monitored. When a main control room is present it is the hub for all safety measures, can control the cells and doors, and allow or block access as needed.
While inmates are housed in the facility, either directly after they have been arrested and are being processed, while they are awaiting their trial or their sentencing, or while they are serving their sentence, inmates will have access to medical and mental health care as well as communication with their friends and family who are not incarcerated. Inmates have access to a telephone from 6:30am until 10:30pm and may use them when they have time in the dayroom or are not attending their other responsibilities. Incoming calls to inmates are not accepted, but messages for inmates can be left at 605-995-8639 and will be delivered to the inmates during the day.
Visitation is encouraged and can assist in helping inmates to maintain their support system, improving their chance of success after release and helping to maintain their mental health during incarceration. Visiting hours are Tuesdays 7:00pm-9:00pm, Wednesday 1:00pm-3:00pm, Saturday 1:00pm to 3:00pm and Sunday 1:00pm to 3:00pm only.
Visits are a half hour in length and two visitors are permitted at one time, they are no contact visits but are in person. To offer additional support to an inmate, friends and family can deposit money to their account for their use while they are 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
Davison County Jail 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 Davison County Jail 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.
