| GRENADA COUNTY JAIL |
The Grenada County Jails primary duty is to serve our community by providing a safe, secure facility where people are treated with dignity and respect and learn to be accountable for their actions.
The Grenada County jail houses those charged and awaiting trial, those arrested on warrants, those serving sentences at the county jail, those placed on holds by Parole and Probation, those sentenced to and awaiting beds in the state prison system or Community Corrections, those sentenced by municipal courts in our county as well as others placed here on holds for other agencies.
The Jail can house subjects accused of all levels of charges. We are responsible for securely holding all of these individuals as well as providing a safe environment. Pretrial confinement is not for punishment purposes. It is merely to assure that the arrestee appears in court. Sentenced inmates, on the other hand, are here as punishment for their offense. It is the responsibility of the deputies and civilian staff to make productive use of the inmates time, but not to inflict further punishment upon them.
The Grenada County Jail is supervised by the Facility Warden, Mr. Pat Jones.

Warden |
The Grenada County Jail is composed of two facilities. The first facility, the main jail facility, is located at 37 Doak Street in Grenada, Mississippi. It was constructed and officially opened for use in 1997. This facility was paid for by the taxpayers of Grenada County, and has the capacity to house approximately 210 inmates. This facility houses county inmates, state inmates, federal inmates, non-state inmates from other jurisdiction (that do not have a jail facility) and inmates from other municipalities within Grenada County.
We are very fortunate to have a Joint State/County Offender Work Center that houses as many as 70 state inmates that are low risk inmates. These working inmates provide free labor to Grenada County and are used for custodial work, and within the county on a daily basis. The Joint State/County Offender Work Center was constructed and officially opened for use in 2009. This Facility was also paid for by the taxpayers of Grenada County.
