The Chelan Co Regional Jail is a detention center located at 401 Washington St, 2nd Level Wenatchee, WA which is operated locally by the Chelan County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Chelan County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Wenatchee 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. You can see all the arrest records for Washington here.

The Chelan County Regional Justice Center is a 267-bed adult correctional facility serving a population of over 100,000 people across a geographical area exceeding 5,000 square miles. The jail staff facilitates court appearances for inmates scheduled for Chelan and Douglas County Superior and District Courts and East Wenatchee Municipal Court. The facility offers participation in Electronic Home Monitoring, Alcohol Monitoring, and Work Release for court-approved, sentenced offenders. Basic medical, mental health, and nutritional needs are provided by support staff, and all corrections staff are fully trained professionals dedicated to public safety.

The Chelan RJC provides a variety of programs aimed at benefiting the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of offenders. These programs include the Volunteer Inmate Worker program, Religious Services and Counseling, AA and NA meetings, Educational Services, and release planning. Community partners supporting these programs include Catholic Family Services, the Washington State Department of Corrections, Victory Ministries, and the Community Partnership for Transition Solutions (CPTS). Only individuals who have been sentenced and approved by the sentencing courts may apply for these programs, and all fees owed to the Chelan County Regional Justice Center must be paid in full before acceptance.

Offenders sentenced from other counties may also be eligible for these programs if their court papers state that they may serve their sentence at the Chelan County Regional Justice Center. Higher program fees will be assessed for these individuals. Eligibility for alternative programs may be denied based on criminal history, previous involvement in the program, jail classification, or risk assessment.

Work Release participants receive all their medical care at the facility. Individuals on narcotic medications are advised to consult their doctor at least two weeks before reporting into custody, as narcotics are prohibited in this program.
