This facility is for adult inmates.

The Washington County OH Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 101 Westview Ave Marietta, OH which is operated locally by the Washington 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. Washington County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Marietta Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

Corrections Officers are required to have 24 hours of continuing education a year, in areas of self-defense, fire training, CPR, and jail training.
The inmates are fed three meals a day and have access to medical care and mental counseling if needed.

Control Room
The control room officer monitors security cameras mounted both inside and outside the jail. The control room officer can easily lock and unlock doors by seeing who needs to get in and out of the rooms. By using this technology, inmates are unable to escape, allowing only the officers in and out of the rooms.

Dorms
The jail has eight separate housing areas comprising dorms containing 124 beds.
Inmates may walk around their dorm freely between 5:30 am and 10:30 pm, at which time the inmates are required to be in their bed unless traveling to and from the restroom.

Holding Cell
The four holding cells are used to keep intoxicated inmates away from the other inmates until they are sober. At that time, they are moved into a dorm.

Lockdown Cells
The twelve lockdown cells are used primarily for problem inmates or for inmates receiving disciplinary action.

Video Arraignment
For a Marietta Municipal Court case hearing, the accused are placed in a room that is linked by video and audio to the court.

Laundry Room
Inmates are able to wash and dry their clothes using facilities within the jail.

Kitchen
All of the food is prepared by hand in the kitchen by the cooks. The inmates are fed three meals a day.
