County Jail

Welcome to the Wood County Sheriff Justice Center website. The intention of this site is to inform the friends and family members of our inmates by providing answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

The current building was constructed and completed in 1988. At that time the capacity of the facility was 71 beds with an additional 7 separation cells. In 2001, the existing building was expanded to what we currently have, which is the capacity of 112 beds with 16 separation cells for males, and 25 beds with 4 separation cells being for female inmates.

Paying Fines and Bonding Procedures

  • Cash Bonds - Cash Bonds can be done by family or friends who have the ability to supply the total amount of a particular inmates bond. This can be done by cash, money order or cashier’s check.  Cash accepted for bonds shall be the exact amount.
    An additional $15.00 fee is required by the state on the first and second bonds posted on an inmate per jailing, with the maximum of $30.00 per jailing. Class “C” bonds DO NOT carry these charges.  If applicable the courts will refund any money that was not designated to pay fees or fines accrued from the offense.
  • Surety Bonds - Surety Bonds are posted by bonding agencies. Family or friends may deal directly with a bonding agent, then that agency will charge you a fee for them to assume the liability of the defendant to make his or her appearance in the desired court of which the charges are pending. The same state fees still apply when posting a surety bond.
  • Paying Fines - Fines may be paid out of the inmate’s money account that was created during the booking process if adequate funds are available. Family or friends may pay fines at the jail window by having the exact cash amount, money order or cashier’s check.

When an individual signs up for a visitation time they will have to give the name of the inmate that they want to visit as well as the name of both visitors that will be visiting the inmate.  On the set date and time of the visit, the visitors will go to the jail lobby window, 5 minutes before the visit is set to start, and show a valid picture ID.  The only people that will be allowed to visit are the people whose names were previously given when the pre-sign up was done by phone.  The visitation time starts at the scheduled time, no exceptions.  If the scheduled time is missed it will not be rescheduled.
