News Update 10/22/2025

Later this week the Island County Jail is switching phone services from Securus to CIDNET. This change will introduce many new program features for inmates and their family/friends network. The two biggest changes will include the introduction of video visiting and tablets. Inmates will now have the ability to conduct video visiting 7 days a week. In person visiting will still be an option. The tablets will offer inmates the ability to watch movies, listen to music, play games, write letters, message and participate in educational programs. 

We are expected to cutover to the new phone system later in the week. When this happens, all inmates will receive 1 free phone call a day for the first 7 days. This will give them time to share information with family and friends on how to setup an account. Any money remaining on a Securus account will have to be coordinated with Securus to get a refund. We will post information on this process shortly once we receive it. 

Another new feature of this transition is the ability for family and friends to either directly fund a phone account through CIDNET or our Commissary Program. Once the Commissary Program feature is established family and friends will be able to put money on a commissary account using a debit/credit card. Inmates with money on their commissary account can choose to spend those funds on commissary items or purchase phone time. 

For more information on how to establish a CIDNET account please follow the Inmate Phone Service page linked to the left.  There you will find detailed information on how to setup your new account with CIDNET.

Jail Overview

The Island County Jail was remodeled with additional space in 1983 and is a traditional linear style (cell block and dormitory) facility which houses both sentenced and pre-trial maximum security inmates. The Jail is designed to house up to 58 inmates at any given time.

Inmates have access to outdoor recreation, mail, commissary purchases (minor grocery store food items and sundries), and special programs. Inmates also receive medical, mental health, and dental care. Religious services and some offender change programs are also offered. Public visits are also available on a rotational basis. Please review our Visiting Protocols page for more information. Sentenced inmates may be eligible to perform work in the facility kitchen or custodial crews and receive "work-time" credits to reduce their sentences. Eligible inmates may qualify for the Electronic Monitoring Program.
