Facility Mailing and Service Information
This is a short-term municipal detention / holding facility.
The current official city source confirms the facility or police detention location, but it does not publish a standard long-term personal postal-mail program comparable to a county jail or state prison.
Because municipal detainees are often released or transferred quickly, verify that the person is still housed here and call the facility before mailing a letter. Do not send irreplaceable originals until staff confirms the current mail procedure.
Current-source note:
Current city page confirms a 24/7 municipal holding facility; detainees are generally held only briefly before transfer or release.

Do not order books or publications to this municipal holding facility unless jail staff confirms they can be accepted. Short-term city jails commonly transfer prisoners to a county facility before long-term correspondence or publication delivery is practical.
