The Skagit Co Jail is a detention center located at 600 S 3rd St Mount Vernon, WA which is operated locally by the Skagit County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Skagit County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Mount Vernon 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.
The Skagit County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division operates around the clock, ensuring the safe and secure housing of inmates under its custody. The division comprises 52 Corrections Deputies, 10 Corrections Sergeants, and 1 Lieutenant. In addition to in-house responsibilities, the staff manages inmate movements for court appearances, medical appointments, and other necessary outings. The Corrections Division also handles peripheral duties such as Medical Liaison, Jail Billing, Court Security, and the Jail Alternatives Program, which offers alternatives to standard incarceration for qualifying individuals. These alternatives include Work Release, Community Service Work, and Electronic Home Monitoring. A civilian Court Coordinator facilitates the resolution of cases involving multiple charges from multiple jurisdictions.
Mail for inmates should be addressed to the inmate's name, c/o Skagit County Jail, 201 Suzanne Lane, Mount Vernon, Washington 98273. Up to two pictures can be sent per mailing, provided they do not depict obscene or sexually explicit content, gang signs, racist or inflammatory messages, or have any attachments like tape or glue. Polaroid pictures are not allowed. Items that can be sent to inmates include a letter, two photographs, and a plain greeting card, all of which must not contain glitter, stickers, perfume, lipstick, or tape. Money orders or cashier’s checks made out to Skagit County Jail can also be sent, but no paint or crayons are allowed. Material printed off the internet or pages from books cannot be sent. The size limitation for mailed items is no larger than a legal-sized envelope.
Inmates can receive soft-cover paperback books mailed directly from Amazon, provided they arrive from USPS, FedEx, or UPS. Inmates are allowed only one book at a time in their cell; additional books will be stored and can be exchanged. Prohibited items include sexually explicit material, instructions for criminal activity, advocacy of violence or overthrow of authority, martial arts or self-defense instructions, and material promoting hate or violence against groups or classes.
Writing materials, clothing, and books cannot be brought or sent to inmates. These items can be purchased through the commissary, with family and friends able to purchase items from the commissary vendor for delivery to the inmate. Food cannot be brought to inmates, as they receive nutritionally balanced meals three times daily and can purchase snacks through the commissary. Money can be deposited for inmates via the kiosk in the jail lobby, mailed money orders, or online via JPay. Personal checks are not accepted.
Notary services are not provided by the jail; inmates must arrange these services through their attorney. The inmate's first court appearance is scheduled for the first working day following their arrest. Additional court dates are not tracked by the jail and must be obtained by contacting the court. An Investigative Hold, or 72-hour hold, allows the arresting agency time to investigate and file charges. Bail is held by the court until the case concludes, and if the defendant fails to appear, the bail may be forfeited. The entire bail amount must be paid in cash or via credit card at the kiosk, with bail bond agencies available for assistance if the bail is bondable.
The jail cannot recommend a bail bondsman or provide advice on bail. For family emergencies, inmate release must be arranged through an attorney and approved by a judge. To find out who an inmate's attorney is, contact the Public Defender’s Office or the inmate directly. Inmate transfer information is not released to the public for security reasons. Requirements and application procedures for Jail Alternative Programs are posted on the Jail Alternatives website. Early release of inmates is not permitted. Inmates cannot release personal items to others, with exceptions requiring approval by the Shift Supervisor.
