Jail Operations
Correctional officers are responsible for performing the daily operations and maintenance of The Mecklenburg County Jail as well as providing security to it's inmates. They are also respnsible for transporting inmates to and from court appearances and medical appointments.
Lt. Clevinger oversees the day to day operations of the jail and it's staff and reports all activities to the Chief Correctional Officer.
The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office Jail has successfully
completed a 3-day audit governed under the authority of the Virginia
Department of Corrections for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. A 100%
score was received by the jail which consisted of 118 Standards of
Compliance. Audits are performed on a three-year cycle. Inspections
which are unannounced are performed on an annual basis.
The audit serves as a necessary enforcement mechanism in monitoring
the standards so that local jails and state correctional facilities
may be evaluated through a uniform process and be certified as
efficient and safe.
All correctional programs and facilities operate under standards
that are designed to ensure health, safety and welfare of staff and
offenders within a correctional setting.
