The Sunnyside City Jail serves as a low/medium-security city detention center located at 401 Homer St in Sunnydale, WA. Operated locally by the police and sheriff's departments, it houses inmates and detainees awaiting trial or sentencing. Most sentenced inmates have terms of less than two years. The facility also accepts inmates from surrounding towns and occasionally from the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others may be supervised by probation agencies or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who remain in custody await their court appearances at the facility, receiving accommodations such as bedding and meals.

The Sunnyside City Law & Justice Center is a city jail located at 401 Homer St in Sunnydale, WA. It serves as the holding facility for the Sunnydale Police Department or agencies within the judicial district of Yakima County. City jails are locally operated short-term facilities that hold inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both, and inmates sentenced to a term of less than one year, typically misdemeanants or repeat nuisance criminals. Most inmates not condemned to penalty or punishment could qualify for bail. If you would like information regarding a release, please call 509-837-2120.

Inmates scheduled for longer-term sentences will get transferred to a Federal or State Prisons run by either the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) or Washington Department of Corrections. There is no time frame given for the transfer, the factors include bed space and logistic timing for the sheriff or marshals to transport the inmate securely.

Corrections - The Sunnyside City Jail currently employs five corrections officers, two corporals and a corrections sergeant who manage a 97-bed jail facility at the Sunnyside Law and Justice Center. In addition to housing city of Sunnyside inmates, we contract with outside agencies to house their prisoners as well.
