When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Union Co Jail is a detention center located at 209 E Main St Elk Point, SD which is operated locally by the Union 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. Union County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Elk Point 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.
Union County Jail was built and moved into in August of 1999. The jail has 40 beds and an additional 12 beds used for work release. The jail also houses prisoners for Federal Marshalls and INS and other surrounding counties, as needed.
Money Requests - All monies (including money dropped off at the time of visitation) will be placed on the inmate’s account. Inmates wishing to withdraw money from their account must fill out a request form. Money orders and correctional institution checks will be endorsed over to the Union County Jail. All inmate funds will be deposited in the Jail account. NO PERSONAL CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT ANY TIME. At the time of release, any remaining money in the inmate’s account will be refunded by check.
Property - Property delivered to inmates will be accepted at any time. Approved inmate property will be handed out after visits or when jail staff is available to do so. Only the items listed below are allowed in the Union County Jail. All items must be brand new, and in the original package. NO EXCEPTIONS.

All inmates sentenced to the Union County Jail will be charged $10 per day for room and board. This fee will be deducted daily from the inmate's account. "A prisoner confined to any jail while serving a sentence is liable for the cost of the prisoner's confinement including room and board charges, medical, dental, optometric and psychiatric service charges, vocational education training, and chemical dependency treatment charges. If after considering the prisoner's net income, net worth, the number of dependants and any existing obligations the Judge who sentenced the prisoner to jail determines that the prisoner is unable to pay, the Judge may waive all or part of the payment for the cost of the inmate's confinement."
