Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Belmont County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, St. Clairsville Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate.
Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, orders may be doubled. Indigent inmates must miss two commissary days to receive a weekly indigent pack containing basic hygiene items, and indigent mail is stamped only for the Attorney of Record or the Court. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage.

It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Upon being sentenced by the court(s) to serve weekends or participate in work release, it is imperative to contact the Inmate Support Officer at 740-695-7933 Ext 155 to make the necessary arrangements and/or payments. This contact should be made at least one week before the reporting date to jail.
No individual will be approved or permitted to commence their work release until all required paperwork has been completed and employment has been verified. It is also important to note that all participants in the work release program will be subject to random drug testing, which will be conducted at the inmate’s expense. Ensuring these steps are followed will facilitate a smooth transition into the program and adherence to all procedural requirements.
