The Sweetwater County Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 50140 Hwy 191 S Rock Springs, WY which is operated locally by the Sweetwater 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. Sweetwater County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Rock Springs Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The detention section serves at the direction of the detention section captain and detention section lieutenant and is primarly tasked with managing day-to-day operations of the county's only jail - Sweetwater County Detention Center.

Built in 2005, Sweetwater County Detention Center is a state-of-the-art facility housing all persons arrested or incarcerated in Sweetwater County as well as those inmates-in-transit from across the state (and sometimes from across the country). Our facility features a maximum prisoner capacity of over 200 inmates and is one of only four county facilites across the state with a separate juvenile holding facility (which is legally required to house juvenile inmates).

Sweetwater County Detention Center is a large and complex operation staffed by over 50 Sheriff's Office employees including approximately 20 state-certified detention officers, 10 control-room operators (for around-the-clock coverage) and numerous support staff (such as various administrative, transport and medical personnel).
