The Sheriff's Office, working in partnership with local schools and local police departments, offers jail tours to area students. Students are given the opportunity to learn about the day to day operations of the sheriff’s office, the average day for an inmate, and the programs offered to inmates by the sheriff’s office. After touring the jail, students are able to speak with inmates who share their personal stories of the poor choices and bad decisions that led to their incarceration. Inmates frequently encourage students to make positive choices in their lives and avoid following a path which leads to incarceration.
