The Clay County Jail is a medium-security prison that is located in Vermillion, South Dakota. It is specifically operated by the Montgomery Sheriff’s Office but also does accept prisoners from surrounding towns and municipalities.
The Clay County Jail also has a law library which inmates can access Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 AM and 3 PM. Inmates have a “first come, first serve” basis when it comes to the library.
Some of these inmates are awaiting trial, some have been convicted, and some are waiting to be moved. There is a staff of over 260 civilian members, as well.
Commissary is offered five days a week, from Monday through Friday. There is a wide range of food products, including chips, snacks, beverages, teas, water, and more. Laundry is also delivered from Monday through Friday. Uniforms and towels are delivered twice a week.
Inmates at Clay County Jail can have access to copies of legal documents for a small cost, and there may be paralegals available to assist inmates in searching for additional resource material.
While there are thousands of jails all over the world that offer a “search bar” for inmates at a prison, Clay County Jail has taken a different approach. In fact, there is a reported list of inmates at the jail that is updated constantly that can be found online.
The jail roster can be found here: http://www.claysheriff.org/. In addition, the jail roster can be viewed in either a collapsible or search-able extended view.
The website also describes how many inmates are currently at the jail, as well. The roster also describes their gender, suffix, age, race, first name, middle name, last name, and the date that they were confined.
