Corrections Division

The Corrections Division is under the Command of Major Lester Carr.

The Corrections Division is the largest unit in the Sheriffs Office.

The staff of 97 full and part-time employees is responsible for operating the Wayne County Correctional Facility, maintaining the safety and security of the inmates, providing food, clothing, and medical and mental health care.

Educational services and treatment programs encourage prisoners to change their behavior and attitudes to a more productive, meaningful lifestyle.

The Wayne County Correctional Facility has a modern treatment center for sick or injured inmates. Under supervision of the jail physicians, the Nurse Practitioner supervises three registered nurses.
