The Sweetwater Co Jail is a 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, Rock Springs 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 Wyoming here.

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).
