When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Ellis County-Wayne McCollum Detention Center so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The WMDC is a detention center located at 300 S Jackson St Waxahachie, TX which is operated locally by the Ellis 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. Ellis County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Waxahachie 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 Texas here.
The Wayne McCollum Detention Center, named after Sheriff Wayne McCollum, who served Ellis County for two decades, comprises three phases. Phase 1, operational since 1990, and Phase 2, opened in 2002, both follow a podular design. In contrast, Phase 3, inaugurated in 2010, adopts a direct supervision layout. The facility has a maximum capacity of 856 prisoners.
In line with the direct supervision philosophy, a detention officer is continuously present within the housing unit, directly overseeing and engaging with inmates. Officers are tasked with maintaining control over inmate behavior, mitigating negative conduct, and minimizing tension-inducing situations. Officer security is upheld through radio communication and surveillance cameras. Central to this supervision model is the officer's complete authority and jurisdiction over their designated area. With most services provided within the housing unit, the need for frequent and costly inmate movement is significantly reduced.
Direct supervision fosters increased interaction between detention officers and inmates, leading to a decrease in inmate violence and vandalism. Moreover, it offers substantial cost savings by reducing the requisite staffing levels to operate the facility efficiently. Overall, the direct supervision approach prioritizes proactive inmate management, staff-inmate interaction, and facility security, contributing to a safer and more cost-effective detention environment.
