This facility is for adult inmates.

The Humboldt County Correctional Facility (HCCF) is a medium-security detention center located at 826 4th St Eureka, CA which is operated locally by the Humboldt 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. Humboldt County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Eureka Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office offers an exceptional approach to rehabilitation by providing vocational, educational, and treatment based programs to people currently incarcerated. The goal of providing programs to this population is to reduce the rate of recidivism and to support the currently incarcerated in their efforts to successfully reintegrate back into the community.

Some of the programs offered include College of the Redwoods course, substance abuse education, AA/NA groups, motivational enhancement therapy, jail ministry services, Native American talking circles, resume building classes and much more. In addition to these programs, the currently incarcerated are also offered opportunities to develop case plans to assist them in reaching their goals of successful reintegration.
