Current Clinton County

Jail & Judicial Spaces

The current Clinton County Courthouse was completed in 1976 and has served the County for 50 years.

Clinton County Jail

  • The current Clinton County Jail can hold 32 detainees and is regularly full, with extra detainees being housed in other Counties

  • The Booking & Intake area, one of the busiest parts of the jail, is extremely crowded despite regularly holding large groups of detainees and staff

  • The Kitchen & Laundry are in both in one small room, outfitted with residential equipment that is not adequate to serve the facility

  • One overcrowded room serves as detainee property storage, attorney visitation, detainee dress out, and the fingerprint station

  • Jail poses numerous safety and security risks

  • Building systems, like plumbing and HVAC, regularly fail and are extremely difficult to access for repairs
