| The Daviess County Detention Center (DCDC) is a full-service jail facility with an average daily population of around 600 county, state and federal inmates. The facility provides for the incarceration of offenders either awaiting trial, classification or sentenced to DCDC. The facility is staffed by around eighty-five professionally trained deputy jailers, who ensure for the care, custody and control of the inmate population. Jailers and deputy jailers are defined as "peace officers" in the Commonwealth of Kentucky under KRS 446.010. DCDC has specialized units, which include a K9 Unit, Special Response Team and Crisis Negotiations Team. We contract with a medical provider (Southern Health Partners) to provide 24-hour medical care at the facility, which includes a medical team administrator, physician, nursing staff, qualified mental health provider, dentist and other medical personnel. DCDC partners with a food management and commissary provider (Kellwell) to provide for these essential inmate services. We also offer work, educational and other ministry programs as part of our rehabilitation and reentry efforts. DCDC is responsible for managing all aspects of the operation to include maintenance and repairs. We currently have two deputy-supervised inmate work crews, which include a KY Transportation Cabinet Crew and County Road Crew, serving our community. DCDC offers a variety of inmate programs, which include GED, MRT courses, Reentry Success Program and services through the Good News Global ministry. We are grateful for our deputy jailers, contract staff, program instructors, ministry volunteers and other community partners, who all strengthen our team and the services we provide.
