Located at 253 High St in Hartford, CT, this facility accommodates arrestees awaiting transfer to the nearest detention facility that issued the arrest warrant. Following the transfer, offenders are arraigned and charged before a magistrate at the County Courthouse. Bail determinations are made at this stage.

Although county governance no longer exists in Connecticut, sheriffs are still elected by county lines, serving specific regions for four-year terms. These sheriffs are responsible for appointing deputies and performing various statutory functions. Sheriffs manage the transportation of inmates between courthouses and correctional facilities, with the Connecticut Department of Correction operating the state’s unified jail system, which includes major facilities like:

1. Bridgeport Correctional Center
2. Hartford Correctional Center
3. New Haven Correctional Center
4. Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center (Uncasville)
5. York Correctional Institution (Niantic) is the state’s facility for female inmates.

These facilities handle sheriff and police department detainees from all areas across the state. Sheriffs also play roles in court security and the execution of legal processes, coordinating with entities such as the Office of the County Sheriff and the Judicial Department. Their duties include serving legal documents, maintaining courthouse custody, and attending courts. Each sheriff is authorized to appoint deputies and special deputies to assist in these responsibilities.
