Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Silver Bow County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Butte Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Butte-Silver Bow Detention Center, erected in 2004, operations extend ceaselessly throughout the year, supported by a cadre of 27 Detention Officers and bolstered by an additional five civilian staff members. The Detention Center has a maximum capacity of 72 inmates, a threshold maintained to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Central to the mission of the Butte-Silver Bow Detention Center is the unwavering commitment to furnish a secure and nurturing milieu for those entrusted to its care. This dedication finds expression in a comprehensive inmate classification system, meticulously designed to mitigate risk and optimize security for detainees and staff. Drawing upon an exhaustive examination of an inmate's personal and criminal history, as well as a nuanced evaluation of behavioral patterns and potential mental or physical vulnerabilities, this classification process culminates in the allocation of inmates to housing units spanning a spectrum of security levels, from minimum to maximum.

The intake and booking procedures constitute the initial crucible through which all incoming individuals traverse upon entering the Butte-Silver Bow Detention Center. Here, a vigilant staff upholds the highest standards of professionalism while safeguarding the dignity of the apprehended. Each arrival is met with a series of inquiries, administered by booking officers, before proceeding through the protocol of photographing, fingerprinting, and subsequent access to communication channels to contact bondsmen, family members, or friends. For those unable to secure release on bail or facing non-bondable offenses, the journey continues with classification and eventual integration into the housing units, albeit with a nominal $25 booking fee levied upon all detainees.

The Butte-Silver Bow Detention Center is steadfast in its commitment to holistic inmate rehabilitation and community welfare. In addition to offering essential programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, the center provides access to mental health services facilitated by a dedicated therapist, a registered nurse, and a medical doctor. This comprehensive array of health care services, including emergency dental care, underscores the center's broader mission to ensure the physical and mental well-being of its charges, thereby fostering positive outcomes for both inmates and the broader community while concurrently mitigating recidivism rates and alleviating the strain on healthcare and law enforcement resources.
