The Knox County ME Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 327 Park St Rockland, ME which is operated locally by the Knox 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. Knox County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Rockland 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 Maine here.

The Knox County Correctional Facility is located adjacent to the Knox County Public Safety Building and is approximately one mile from the county courthouse. The structure was completed in November 1991. The jail portion of the building was approved by the State Department of Corrections to hold 49 long-term prisoners, nine 48-hour prisoners, and two 4-hour prisoners, for a total capacity of 60.

The facility was not certified to house juvenile inmates and are required to separate female prisoners from the male population. In 2007 Knox County received a variance from Maine DOC to house 86 inmates. They are also, as all the County Correction facilities in Maine, working as a unified system with the State Prisons.

The Knox County Correctional Facility has a very unique role within the State of Maine. Knox County has two State prisons located within the County, which adds a considerable amount of responsibilities to the correctional facility. The County has its own Transport Teams, which at times are extremely busy because they are responsible for all transportation to and from the Courts. Juveniles are transported to appropriate holding facilities and are only at the Knox County Correctional Facility for processing and for short-term stays.
