The Cherokee County NC Detention Center is a detention center located at 577 Regal St Murphy, NC which is operated locally by the Cherokee 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. Cherokee County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Murphy 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 North Carolina here.
The Cherokee County Detention Center began operations in the Summer of 2008, leaving behind an inefficient 1922 model, only designed to hold a maximum of 43 inmates awaiting trial. However, the Detention Center expanded this capability to nearly 150 inmate beds, including separate medical, juvenile, female and male pods. The facility is designed to handle the inmates with indirect supervision and laid out with seven separate dorms:
The facility was designed to expand in the future to house an additional 100 inmates being a total 350 bed facility.
Captain Patterson, Jail Administrator, is assisted in the detention operations by his second in command, Lieutenant Maureen Sharp, who assists with scheduling, inmate commissary, budget, planning, personnel issues and fiscal management.
Each detention shift consists of at least one female and one male officer that are respectively responsible for conducting regular rounds of the female and male cell blocks. The Division also oversees a Transport Division that is responsible for transporting both local and federal inmates to court and medical appointments, work detail assignments, Department of Corrections locations and also transports involuntary commitments to the appropriate medical facilities.
The Detention Center has an in-house Medical Division that provides health services to inmates incarcerated. These services include, but are not limited to, initial medical screenings, medical histories, physical exams, and prescription and administering of needed medications. Medical staff work with community agencies and provide care for inmates with chronic conditions, communicable diseases, alcohol and drug detox needs, dental care, mental health services, and prenatal care. The in-house Medical Division helps to minimize unnecessary inmate trips to the hospital and excessive pharmacy costs, while also improving the quality of care for inmates incarcerated at the Detention Center.
Eligible inmates can participate in Inmate Work Details, Work Release Programs, and G.E.D. Programs, and have access to speak with Jail Ministers when requested.
