About
the Corrections Division
The WCSO Corrections Division operates the Whatcom County
Jail and the Alternative Corrections program. The jail is
a medium security facility responsible for the incarceration
of approximately
245 prisoners
daily.
Correction Deputies oversee the day to day operation of
the jail including:
- Booking
- Population control
- Meals
- Medical care
- Prisoner transports
The Corrections Division also oversees part of a state wide
transport chain that links the various jails and detention
facilities. A jail transport Corrections Deputy makes daily trips to
Skagit, Snohomish, and King County Jails.
The Corrections Division is also responsible for facilitating
alternative sentencing programs. Currently the jail implements
programs such as home detention and work release as alternatives
to incarceration.
