The Yankton County Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 410 Walnut St Yankton, SD which is operated locally by the Yankton 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. Yankton County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Yankton Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
Mail: Inmates may receive books mailed directly to them from the publisher or retail outlet only. All incoming and outgoing mail is screened for content; anything found to inappropriate will be returned to the sender or placed in the inmate's property.
Inmate Commissary: A commissary is available to all inmates who have money in their jail account. Money can be deposited for the inmate at the Kiosk located in the jail lobby or by mailing a money order to the jail. They can also order at jailatm.com
Phones: The Yankton County Jail utilizes the Reliance Phone System for inmate communications. If you wish to purchase a phone card for an inmate, this can be done on-line at www.reliancetelephone.com. To get the calls at the lowest price, click here.

Inmates may hold only one job while incarcerated. Inmates are not allowed to work out of Yankton County or out of state without prior approval.
