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.

How does the booking process work at Mason County Jail?
Once someone is arrested, they are taken to Mason County Jail for booking. This process involves identifying the individual, determining charges, and deciding if they will be released on their own recognizance, released on bail, or held in custody until their court date.
It’s important for the arrestee to stay silent, as anything they say can be used against them. The best advice is to avoid answering any questions about the arrest until legal counsel is present.
The booking process at Mason County Jail typically includes the following steps:
- Verifying identity.
- Taking a mugshot.
- Answering questions regarding medical, mental health, and substance use history.
- DNA collection, if required.
- Conducting a thorough search.
- Confiscating personal belongings.
- Providing a free phone call.
For questions about paying an arrestee’s bond or bail amount, contact the facility at 360-427-9670.
What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Mason County?
After an individual is apprehended and taken to Mason County Jail in Shelton for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:
1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond. Call 360-427-9670 for the exact bail amount.
There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.
- To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 360-427-9670).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Mason County can assist with payment.
- Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
