Detention Center The Sumter County Detention Center houses inmates who are awaiting trial or have been sentenced to one year or less. Inmates are treated in a fair and professional manner as required by law and are provided programs such as GED, AA and Religious Programs.
On June 27, 2000 the Sumter County Detention Center was
initially accredited by the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission.
We were
re-accredited
in 2003
and we are the first small Jail in Florida to have been awarded this honor by the Commission. On July 1, 2000, a minimum/medium security facility opened. 50 inmates are in an open bay setting. We are currently in the design stage for a medium security facility that is needed to relieve overcrowding in the main jail. |
