The Clark Co Jail is a detention center located at 707 W 13th St Vancouver, WA which is operated locally by the Clark 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. Clark County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Vancouver 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 inmate housing facility in Clark County, situated within the Clark County Law Enforcement Center in downtown Vancouver, operates with a dynamic daily average population (ADP) comprised of individuals classified across varying levels of security risk. These classifications determine their placement within the facility, impacting the allocation of resources and staffing needs. Despite fluctuations in the ADP, the workload in the intake area and housing remains consistent, as both booked and released individuals are processed through this area. Here is a link to the current Inmate Handbook from the Clark County Sheriff.

Jail Services Officers play a pivotal role in the operation, providing supervision, custody, and care for inmates. Their responsibilities encompass a range of tasks including booking procedures, inmate monitoring, courtroom security, and inmate transport. They are also tasked with inmate classification and facilitating work release programs. The challenging nature of their duties is evidenced by their involvement in maintaining order within the facility, including subduing violent inmates and preventing self-harm incidents.

While the closure of the Jail Work Center in April 2020 has repurposed the facility for laundry and kitchen services, efforts continue to address the strains on resources posed by the unpredictable inmate population. Specialized units, inmate programs, and collaborative partnerships with other agencies and the community serve to mitigate some of these challenges, but ongoing vigilance is required to ensure the safety and security of staff, visitors, and inmates alike.
