About Corrections
In May of 1994, Seneca County opened its current facility. At that time, the facility contained 62 beds. In February of 2007, the jail was expanded with an additional 60 bed direct supervision unit and a 40 bed dorm style housing unit.
The Corrections Division is the largest division within the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office, employing 46 full-time correction officers. These officers are responsible for operating the jail, registering sex offenders, providing court security at the three Seneca County courts as well as transporting offenders to and from court.
While incarcerated here at the Seneca County jail, the offenders have the opportunity to complete their basic education by obtaining their GED if needed. There is also opportunity for them to practice their faith.

PREA
The Seneca County Sheriff’s Office has a “zero tolerance” policy for inmate sexual assault/abuse and will make every effort to provide all inmates with a safe, humane, and secure environment free from the threat of sexual assault/abuse and staff sexual misconduct/harassment. Incidents or suspicions of sexual abuse, sexual harassment and retaliation can be reported to any staff member verbally or in writing. There will be no retaliation for reporting incident of sexual abuse or harassment. All allegations involving ICE Detainees, will be promptly reported to ICE. All allegations will be promptly referred to a Detective of the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office for investigation. Once a report is made, information for the Victim’s Assistance Program will be provided to the inmate/detainee. Family and friends can report allegations of sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and retaliation on behalf of an inmate/detainee by calling (419)447-5074, selecting option 1, and speaking with an OIC. Reports may also be given directly to the PSA Compliance Manager (Sgt. Monahan) or a Detective by calling (419)-447-3456.

Visitation Information
The Seneca County Jail offers video visitation. Video Visitations allows family and friends the control to schedule and conduct video visits at a time that is convenient for them.
The video visitation system offers many standard and optional features which provide facilities, families and inmates creative solutions to their communication needs. One standard feature of the video visitation system includes a comprehensive visitation scheduling component for video, traditional face-to-face and contact inmate visitation, enabling visitors to electronically register, schedule and even check-in for visitation sessions from any internet connected device or an onsite workstation located in the facility visitor lobby. Multi-functional housing kiosks provide the option to add ancillary services such as inmate calling, commissary services, inmate requests, grievances and inmate email.
The video visitation system provides added value and security to a facility which is immediately demonstrated upon implementation. Facilities will quickly notice a decrease in human resource costs and improved security for jail personnel and the public because the video visitation system removes the necessity to transport inmates for traditional, onsite visitation and instead allows inmates to conduct video visitation sessions with friends and family members from a corrections grade kiosk, without ever leaving their housing units or cellblocks. The video visitation system allows friends and family members to conduct onsite video visitation sessions from a kiosk in the facility’s visitation area, or offsite video visitation sessions from the comfort of the visitor’s home using a personal computer or laptop.

The Seneca County Sheriff’s office provides visitation via video. We have onsite and offsite options available. Onsite equipment is located in our lobby.
