The Community Corrections Center is a maximum security facility operated by the Jefferson County Corrections Department with a capacity of 456 inmates. The purpose of the Community Corrections Center is to expand the capacity of the Jefferson County Corrections Department to safely and securely house its rapidly increasing jail population. We coordinate with the Hall of Justice regarding activities and programs for the inmates housed in our facility.
Programs range from religious to substance abuse for the male and female population.
