About the Southampton County Jail

The Southampton County Jail has two facilities that are operated by the Southampton Sheriff. These facilities are the county jail and the jail farm, in which inmates are housed both pretrial and for the remainder of their sentence. Determining the location of an inmate is completed during their assessment and classification upon arrival at the jail. After booking has been completed inmates go through a medical and mental health assessment, as well as a review of their prior charges and behavior if they have been previously incarcerated, in addition to the current charges. The main jail is the maximum security location for violent crimes and inmates who are at higher risk for security concerns. Sentences can be served here for up to one year, but due to the temporary nature of the facility any longer sentences are transferred to another location to be completed. This is a male facility with no female or juvenile offenders, both of whom are sent to alternative facilities that are nearby. With a capacity of 57 inmates, there are agreements in place with alternative facilities to house any overflow and avoid overcrowding when possible. To care for the health of all those detained here, there is a nurse on staff who responds to requests for treatment at both locations, and further care is provided when needed. Food services are provided and offer three full and balanced meals that will provide the correct nutritional values. There is also a work release program through the same office. Phone service is provided through securustech.net and allows friend and family to create an account and add money to the phone account for an inmate, which permits them to call during the daytime hours after breakfast and until lockdown each night. They are also permitted to have visitors once a week, and these visits must be planned in advance to ensure they will be prepared and available. Visiting hours vary depending upon housing location and should be confirmed with the inmate prior to scheduling.
