SD DOC – Jameson Annex State Penitentiary basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 605-367-5120
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Jameson Annex State Penitentiary located at 1600 North Dr in Sioux Falls, SD are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
The G. Norton Jameson Annex opened in February 1993, as a secure unit adjacent to the main building of the South Dakota State Penitentiary. The Jameson Annex contains three housing units within a secure perimeter, Unit A, Unit B and Unit D. These units are utilized for maximum custody inmates and as a disciplinary segregation unit. Also located in the Jameson Annex are the Admissions and Orientation Unit for new inmates entering the South Dakota Department of Corrections and the Mental Health Unit. There is a Community Work Center located outside the perimeter fence of the Jameson Annex for minimum-security inmates on work release and community service status and for parolees in the Community Transition Program. That unit also opened in February 1993.
Inmates housed in the Jameson Annex are offered literacy, ABE and GED classes.
Inmates can access telephones at the facility they are housed to make calls, subject to the rules of that facility. In some cases, payphones are available in the inmate housing units. These phones may only be used for purposes designated by Unit Staff.
Access to telephones is a privilege. Inmates must abide by institutional rules on phone usage or their privilege may be withdrawn at any time. Restrictions on phone use will be imposed on inmates whose status would make it contrary to the disciplined operation of the institution.
Inmates typically have access to payphones in their housing units and in other designated areas of the facility.
If an inmate makes a collect call, the person accepting a collect call from an inmate will pay for the cost of the call. The recipient must accept the collect call charges.
If a family member or friend on an approved calling list sets up an account specific to their phone number, then that account will be charged for the calls at the debit call rates.
