The Wasatch Co Jail is a detention center located at 1361 S Hwy 40 Heber City, UT which is operated locally by the Wasatch 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. Wasatch County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Heber City 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.

MAIL PRIVILEGES - Individuals incarcerated at the Jail may ordinarily send correspondence to and receive it from people outside of the facility. They may also receive items such as books, magazines, and some compact discs, but the items must be sent directly from the manufacturer or supplier and must be in its original packaging.

Court Security - The second main responsibility of the Corrections and Court Security Division is to ensure the safety and security of those with judicial business at the Wasatch County Justice Center. Safety is first accomplished by screening everyone that enters the Justice Center. In addition, this Division provides bailiff services for the Fourth District Court, the Fourth District Juvenile Court, and the Wasatch County Justice Court.

The primary duty of a bailiff is to maintain security and order within his or her assigned courtroom. Bailiffs are also responsible for moving incarcerated persons from the jail to the courts for their appearances. Furthermore, the employees in this Division transport those who are incarcerated, adults and juveniles, and who are required to make court appearances.

Road Crew - The Wasatch County Sheriff strongly believes that those serving time in jail need to work and repay their debt to society. Many inmates are put to work inside the jail. Correctional officers oversee these individuals as they clean and complete projects in less restricted parts of the Jail.

In addition, inmates who meet certain criteria are assigned to work under the direct supervision of a deputy outside of the facility. These inmates provide a valuable service to the community as they clean County-owned buildings, and cut lawns and shovel snow on County-owned properties.

Many of the inmate-workers have had chronic employment problems when not incarcerated. As such, the opportunity of being on a work crew often assists them in transitioning back into society and preparing them to obtain and keep respectable employment.
