Corrections

In 1960, the Glen Helen Rehabilitation Center opened and became the county's main facility for housing sentenced inmates. The Central Detention Center opened in 1971 and is currently utilized for housing federal inmates for the US Marshal's Service. The West Valley Detention Center opened in 1991 and is the largest and most modern of the facilities.

The Sheriff's Food Services Division - serves approximately 19,200 meals every day. That's about 7,477,825 meals a year. In addition, this division prepares food for Search and Rescue, Volunteer Forces, and the San Bernardino County Fire Department.

The Health Services Division is responsible for providing heathcare to over 6,000 inmates throughout the county. Services begin at booking and continue until the inmate is released from custody. Every year the inmate population we serve is getting older, sicker and more difficult to treat. The division works closely with the Departments of Behavioral Health and Public Health, as well as the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.

The Transportation Detail deploys 12 buses, 13 vans, and 2 cars. These vehicles covered over 934,000 miles last year, transporting over 286,000 inmates, most of whom were making court appearances.

In January 2006, we opened the Adelanto Detention Center that added a fourth jail to our Bureau of Coorections and because the first jail of its size, serving the high desert region.
