The Mason County Jail in Mason County falls under the jurisdiction of two different entities; the Board of County Commissioners being responsible for the building itself, and the Sheriff responsible for the operations. In this way each can contribute to the safety and security of both inmates and the community.
It houses minimum, medium, and maximum security inmates, and the status or bail of any inmate can be determined by checking online, or calling 360-427-9670.
Individual spaces are provided for those who require stricter security or who are required to be isolated for various reasons, and female and male inmates are housed separately, all based upon security needs.
The Mason County Jail is also responsible for the operation of alternatives to incarceration, including Electronic Home Monitoring that provides GPS tracking to detainees that are permitted to complete their sentence at home either completely or with a list of places they can go during certain hours including their job or school, as well as the CAM that provides monitoring for alcohol levels for those who are awaiting trial for alcohol based offences or who are sentenced to serve time at home rather than in a jail.
Day reporting has individuals check in on predetermined days and may be assigned to the work detail for these days.
Work Release is another alternative that allows offenders to serve their sentence while maintaining their outside jobs, by attending work each day and then returning every evening at the end of their work shift.
Those who are serving their sentence with incarceration will have medical care, all their meals, laundry services, mental health counseling, drug and alcohol classes, and access to communication with their friends and family outside of the facility.
To access commissary purchases it is necessary for their commissary account to be funded online.
Mail is accepted directly at the building and can be addressed to the inmate at:
Inmate's Full Name & Inmate ID#
Mason County Jail
P.O. Box 519
Shelton, WA 98584
... and all of the mail may be checked for contraband and will be inspected for a return address on the envelope before it is accepted from the Postal Service.
Inmates will also have access to phones that make collect calls only, and they are unable to receive calls.
Staff may take a message at 360-427-9670 in the event of an emergency only.
While inmates may have visitors, they must be preapproved and create an account first, where they are also able to pay for any fees that may occur as all visits are currently video based. To visit onsite, a visit must be scheduled between Monday and Sunday 7am to 9:30pm, while video visits made remotely may have additional hours available during scheduling. Those who are housed in Grid A will have limited visitation.
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Mason County Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Mason County Jail:
If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 360-427-9670.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Mason County Jail in Shelton for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Mason County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 360-427-9670 to get the exact amount.
The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.
