Jefferson County Correctional Facility: Fast Facts (address, capacity, staffing, pod layout)
Need the basics on Jefferson County Correctional Facility? Here are the key facts: address, capacity, staffing, and how the housing units are laid out.
Jefferson County Correctional Facility is located at 753 Waterman Drive, Watertown, NY 13601. The jail operates as a direct supervision facility, which means officers work in closer proximity to people in custody rather than monitoring primarily from a separate control area.
The facility has a capacity of 196 beds. It opened in 1992.
Staffing
- ✓ 2 lieutenants
- ✓ 6 sergeants
- ✓ 66 full-time correctional officers
Housing at the facility is organized into six units, commonly called "pods."
Each pod holds up to 32 inmates. Under the direct supervision model, an officer works inside each pod and handles all aspects of daily life on the unit. That setup shapes how routines and supervision actually play out day to day.
Next steps: This sheet doesn't cover visitation hours, mail and property rules, commissary, or phone and video costs. Confirm those details directly with the facility. Also keep in mind that the facility handles inmate transport to courts, prisons, and other sites, which can affect availability on any given day.
