Clay County Detention Center

Sheriff Eddie Scott and his Jail Administration personnel have implemented a plan to achieve accreditation of the Jail by the American Correctional Association (ACA).

ACA accreditation is important as the Jail has recently undergone an expansion that increases its capacity to house up to 160 inmates. All construction has been carried out by inmate labor under close supervision by Jail Personnel thus keeping costs to the county very low.

Sheriff Scott’s ongoing efforts to achieve ACA certification positions the jail to operate more efficiently under set guidelines that will ultimately reduce the county's exposure to lawsuits which translates to lower insurance costs.
