This facility is for adult inmates.
The Ford County KS Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 11311 E Comanche St Dodge City, KS which is operated locally by the Ford 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. Ford County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Dodge City Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
The Ford County Jail is a 256-bed, 80,000 sq.ft. facility. The Jail is a blend of direct/indirect supervision styles with open, raised control posts in the general housing areas. They are designed, so the officer is protected while still having direct control and supervision of the housing and circulation areas. The jail is designed to allow for an expansion of up to 500-beds.
Each housing pod has its own programming and recreation space, keeping inmate movement throughout the facility at a minimum. Video visitation also minimizes inmate movement, as they only leave their housing pods to go to court or medical. Maximum flexibility is achieved by providing individual cells, sized for double bunking capabilities and day rooms sized accordingly.
The jail's features include a small juvenile holding area maintaining site and sound separation, a negative air pressure medical unit, male and female Work Release with separate entrances from General Population and a separate dress out and release path that doesn't cross-traffic with Intake & Booking. Additionally, the Sheriff's Office was designed to provide staff security, while providing "public friendly" access to Sheriff's services.
