Division Chief Elias Diggins is in charge of the County Jail Division.  The County Jail is an extremely busy and active facility with a variety of programs aimed at enhancing the lives of prisoners while incarcerated.  Some of the programs offered are G.E.D., domestic violence counseling, drug and alcohol counseling as directed by Denver County Court or Denver District Court.  Additional programs include religious counseling, aptitude and vocational testing, career counseling, Project Bed-Time Story (sponsored by The Empowerment Program), Turnabout Program, the Life Skills Program and the Community Reentry Project.  The County Jail also allows the prisoners telephone privileges and family visits (these visits are non-contact conducted via video).

Prisoners have access to health care 24 hours a day under the guidance of the Denver Health Medical Center. The health care provided to the prisoners is accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC).

 

 

The County Jail has varying conditions of confinement ranging from minimum security dormitory housing, maximum security cell blocks to special management "lock-down" areas. Housing within the facility is determined by the Classification unit.
