The Whitley Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 101 W Market St Columbus City, IN which is operated locally by the Whitley 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. Whitley County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Columbus 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.
