County jails tend to serve multiple functions and why a person is being detained in a jail facility helps determine many of the conditions of his or her incarceration. Jail is generally the first place a person is taken after being arrested. Some cities or other municipalities will have their own jail facilities, while others will be serviced by the county jail. Additionally, where a person is taken post-arrest may depend on who arrested him. County jails are generally run by county sheriffs or other local government officials and will have designated jurisdiction over offenders arrested by certain agencies, such as the sheriff's department, but may also provide overflow housing for areas that are also serviced by municipal jails. Therefore, you may have to contact multiple facilities in the immediate aftermath of an arrest in order to determine where a person is being detained.

Not all jail inmates are pre-trial detainees. County jails also serve as short-term post-conviction incarceration facilities for offenders who have been convicted of minor crimes or who have received short jail sentences. Generally, county jails will only house offenders who have received sentences shorter than a year in length, though some offenders with longer sentences may be placed in county jail facilities in order to participate in work programs. Those incarcerated in a county jail post-conviction may have access to many of the same resources as those incarcerated in prison, including drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, education programming, and some type of vocational training. They may also be more likely to work within the community than people at state jail or prison facilities.
