The Summit Co Jail is a detention center located at 205 E Crosier St Akron, OH which is operated locally by the Summit 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. Summit County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Akron 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 Summit County Sheriff is tasked with overseeing the administration and operations of the Summit County Jail, which includes the main jail facility and a satellite minimum-security facility operated in conjunction with Oriana House. This dual-facility system has a combined capacity of 671 inmates, with 564 male beds, 89 female beds, and 18 flexible beds that can accommodate males, females, or juveniles based on the inmate population.
The Summit County Jail is classified by the State of Ohio as a "full service" detention center, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The jail was the first large county jail in Ohio to adopt "direct supervision" management, whereby deputies are stationed inside inmate housing areas to maintain order and control, enhancing visibility and response times. This approach, combined with advanced security measures such as over 100 closed-circuit cameras, computerized door controls, and alarm systems, allows the facility to effectively monitor and manage inmate behavior.
The Sheriff's Office also provides security services for the Oriana House, a satellite facility with a 150-bed capacity that focuses on DUI offenders and non-violent overflow from the main jail. Staff at both facilities include 214 sworn personnel, 26 supervisors, and 36 full-time civilian employees. Additionally, medical, behavioral health, maintenance, and food service units are staffed by 25 full-time and 29 part-time contract employees. All deputies assigned to these facilities are certified peace officers, equipped to respond to civil disturbances and other emergencies within the county.
Inmates are classified using an objective system that considers the severity of their current offenses, criminal histories, behavior, and medical or mental health needs. High-risk inmates and some medium-risk inmates are housed in individual cells, while medium and low-risk inmates may share cells or reside in dormitories. Behavior is monitored continuously, and reclassification occurs as necessary to reflect changes in risk or needs.
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. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
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. The Jail enforces 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. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The Summit County Jail provides a wide range of services to meet inmates' needs, including medical, dental, and mental health care, religious ministry, addiction recovery assistance, educational programming, and physical fitness opportunities. Inmates are charged fees for medical services through a "co-pay" system. Volunteers from the community and local social services agencies play a significant role in delivering these support services.
Inmates are expected to adhere to established rules, with violations resulting in disciplinary actions such as loss of privileges or lockdown. Those who damage county property may face restitution or criminal charges. The jail is a non-smoking facility and operates like a small city, relying on staff for essential services including nourishment, hygiene, and care. For further information on what is allowed, please read the Inmate Rules and Regulations Manual (PDF).
Inmate workers, classified as low-risk offenders, assist with cleaning, kitchen operations, and laundry under the supervision of deputies. The jail laundry operates 16 hours a day, Monday through Friday, handling the exchange and laundering of uniforms, linens, and towels. Deputies assigned to oversee these tasks also manage supplies and equipment for the facility.
The Research and Development team within the Sheriff's Office is responsible for reviewing and updating policies and procedures to enhance facility operations. This includes evaluating various aspects of jail management, implementing necessary improvements, overseeing the administration of computer systems, staff training, and planning for renovations and new construction.
