Sheriff - Hampshire

The primary mission of the Hampshire Sheriff’s Office Jail and House of Correction is the care and custody of inmates. The philosophy of the HJHC is to promote reintegration while protecting society and to hold the offender at the lowest level of security consistent with public safety. At every level of security the HJHC seeks to operate a clean, safe and humane facility, manageable in size with an appropriate range of services, which recognize the individual needs of offenders.
