The Hampshire Co Jail is a detention center located at 205 Rocky Hill Rd Northampton, MA which is operated locally by the Hampshire 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. Hampshire County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Northampton 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 Massachusetts here.

The Hampshire Jail and House of Correction consist of five buildings:

1. The main facility houses inmates awaiting trial and Medium Security inmates who are sentenced. Also located in the main facility are the health services unit (clinic), kitchen, dining hall, woodshop, visiting room, classrooms, laundry and administrative offices.

2. The Modular Unit, which is within the enclosed perimeter, consists of two sixty man-housing units divided by an officers control room. This unit is dormitory-style living with eight-man rooms and four-man rooms. The unit also includes a day room area in each sixty-man area where television and leisure-time activities are provided. There are treatment or meeting rooms, program space and the building also houses a dental room and a culinary arts kitchen.

3. The Inmate Property Storage building, also located within the secure perimeter, houses inmate personal property. This building is also a modular building that was erected at the same time as the Modular Unit.

4. The Minimum Security building is outside of the secure perimeter and is designed for large occupancy. It has a food delivery kitchen and weightlifting area.

5. The maintenance building was constructed in 1990 to help maintain the vehicles, equipment, and grounds of the facility. Most repairs can be completed on grounds, to help save repair costs.
