The Tooele Co Jail is a detention center located at 1960 S Main St Tooele, UT which is operated locally by the Tooele 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. Tooele County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Tooele 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.

• Please do not write on the envelope cover flap, including the glue line.
• Padded (foam, plastic bubble, etc.), stiff thick paper, and cardboard mailers are not allowed into the inmate housing area.

If we cannot read the name and the address the envelope will be returned to the sender. The postal service may not be able to read it either resulting in dead mail.
• Tooele County Detention Center accepts completely filled out money orders (must be signed if line provided), official checks and cashier's checks for adding fund to an inmate's account.
• Because inmates' personal correspondence provides a means of introducing contraband into the facility and conspiring to jeopardize security, safety, order and other legitimate Tooele County Detention Center interest, such mail must be opened and inspected.

• No hardback books are accepted.
