The Corrections Division of the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office oversees the Adult Detention Center, Work Center, and County Work Farm, managed by the Warden. With an annual operating budget of approximately 9.5 million dollars and a staff of 225, mostly correctional officers, it's a significant operation.
The Harrison County Adult Detention Center, completed in 1990 for $20 million, was designed for 760 beds but has historically housed over 1400 inmates. Efforts have reduced the daily population to 800-900 in recent years. The facility accommodates various detainees, including felons, misdemeanants, males, females, juveniles charged as adults, state and federal prisoners, and those awaiting mental health commitments.
Recent renovations totaling over 10 million dollars have upgraded the detention center to a state-of-the-art facility, enhancing safety for staff, inmates, and the public. The inmate work center, housing 140-160 sentenced state prisoners, provides valuable labor throughout the county, saving taxpayers millions annually. Plans are underway to revive the county farm, with support from the Board of Supervisors, aiming to restore its productivity and efficiency.
