The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office Division of Corrections manages intake, housing, and care for individuals detained in the Nassau County Jail & Detention Center. From booking and medical screening to cell assignment and property inventory, every step is carefully handled through established inmate processing procedures.
While in custody, inmates have access to health services, commissary (via Keefe Commissary), telephone and mail facilities, and video visitation—scheduled through the GettingOut.com portal—under strict security and behavioral guidelines. Educational and rehabilitative programs are offered, including GED prep and testing, substance‑abuse recovery groups, parenting classes such as Parenting 101 and InsideOut Dad, faith‑based re‑entry mentoring and chaplain services, all designed to prepare individuals for successful re‑entry into the community.
An online inmate search system enables the public to view current in‑custody status and bond information, while support systems guide family members and attorneys through visitation and release procedures.
