Detention Facility
Detention Facility Division
The Dixie County Jail is under the direct authority of the Dixie County Sheriff. The Jail Administrator and the Correctional Staff supervise the Detention Facility operation. The goal of the Detention staff is to create a safe, secure, and humane environment for staff and inmates.
Booking Process
Upon arrival at the Dixie County jail, each inmate completes property intake (monies deposited, clothing and miscellaneous items inventoried), medical screening, and the booking process.
Individuals arrested attend First Appearance before a judge within the first twenty-four (24) hours of arrest. The judge informs each arrested person of their charge(s) and the bond amount. This first appearance can occur in the judge’s presence or by telephone/polycom.
Inmates who have completed the intake process will be assigned to the general population. The housing of each inmate is assigned by their particular charge classification (felony or misdemeanor) and previous convictions.
