The detention center serves as a temporary holding facility for individuals who have been arrested and are awaiting trial, those who have been convicted of a crime and are awaiting sentencing, and those who have been sentenced to serve time in jail, typically for less than a year. The detention center is not equipped to house offenders sentenced to serve time in state or federal prison. Instead, these individuals are typically transferred to a state or federal prison after sentencing.

The detention facility consists of several housing units, each designed to accommodate different populations of detainees. For instance, there are separate units for male and female offenders, and there are units specifically designed for individuals with mental health or medical needs. The detention center also has a medical unit staffed by healthcare professionals to provide necessary medical care to detainees.
