The mission statement of the Sioux County Sheriff's Office states: "The Sioux County Sheriff's Office is committed to maintaining the public's trust, providing protection, and professional leadership, by utilizing our skills and resources with integrity."

Adult Corrections is a large part of the Sioux County Sheriff's Office. It's an operation which runs 24/7 every day. In keeping with our mission statement, it's important for the public to have trust that we will protect them from those who are incarcerated in the Sioux County Jail. It's also important to protect those inside our facility who have been incarcerated. We also strive to provide programs for the inmates which will benefit them once they are released from our facility.

The jail is a 67 bed facility, containing six pods. A pod is a separate holding area containing cells, restroom facilities, showers and a day room where the inmates eat and spend a majority of their time. The pods vary in cell numbers allowing the corrections officers to categorize the inmates. The inmates are categorized as male, female, work release, pre-sentenced, sentenced, misdemeanors, felons, and federal holds.

The jail also contains a large indoor recreation area, booking/ processing room, medical room and control. The officer in the control room monitors the entire jail.
