Franklin County Sheriff

Because of its low crime rate Vermont does not have any need for individual county jails or city jails. All of the people arrested in Vermont are held in one of the state's six facilities.

When someone gets arrested, they are booked in to their local sheriff's office and then transported to one of the six regional correctional facilities in Vermont.

You can also use the inmate search tool to see Vermont's roster of those who have been arrested and are still in custody.

Offenders arrested for misdemeanors and felonies in this county are brought here for booking and processing, and if their crime requires it, are incarcerated until they are either bonded out, are released from custody on their own recognizance, or are ordered to remain in custody until the disposition of their trial.

You can also use the inmate search tool to see this facility's roster of those who have been arrested and are still in custody.

Those who are found guilty and sentenced to a term of less than one year, will do their time in one of the six Vermont DOC facilities or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

It's always a good idea to find out and save the inmate's jail ID number or booking number as you may need this for sending mail or other communication needs. If you can't locate it online, you can call the Franklin County Sheriff at 802-524-2121 to get it.

About the Franklin County Sheriff
All inmates from Franklin County will serve their final sentence at the Northwest State Correctional Facility. It is a large facility that provides jail services for Franklin County along with the surrounding communities. Several of the small jails that are throughout Vermont were closed in favour of larger facilities that can make use of combined resources and budgets to provide full service detention centres that operate around the clock and are fully staffed at all times. With a up to date and integrated security system the facility offers minimum and medium security cell blocks and can house inmates from directly after their arrest or beginning after their sentencing. For safety reasons those who are on segregation will have visits only via video and they need to have appointments booked directly through the jail itself. Other visits occur on weekends and are scheduled by the first letter of the last name of the inmates. These hours begin at 8:30am and run until 10:30am, then again from 1pm until 3pm. Visits are limited to half an hour to ensure that all inmates can receive visits from their loved ones, and each visitor must be approved before the visit as well as pass the security check when they arrive to ensure they are not bringing any contraband into the facility. Phones are available to inmates on a daily basis, and they can access the phone banks from 10am until 10pm, to ensure they can remain in contact with their support systems outside of incarceration.
