The Wood County Sheriff’s Office has received a 100% passage of the annual jail inspection conducted by the state Bureau of Adult Detention.
The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction inspected on the jail on Aug. 29.
The group of standards being inspected focused on reception & release, classification, security, housing, sanitation and environmental conditions, communication, visitation, medical and mental health services, food service, recreation and programming, inmate discipline, administrative segregation, grievance, staffing, and staff training.
The inspection consisted of reviewing requested documentation, touring selected areas of the jail, and having discussions with various jail staff.
Mark Wasylyshyn, Wood County sheriff, said he was especially impressed with the award as this year the jail is going through a major renovation and expansion.
“The deputies have had to work extremely hard around all of the interruptions that go with the construction,” he said.
The Wood County Jail has received a 100% passing rate every year since Wasylyshyn was elected sheriff.
