Other Information
(en espanol)

Inmates may be transferred to other institutions for a number of reasons: these include court, medical treatment, to serve a sentence, safety of the inmate, etc.  In order to protect the safety of the inmates and staff, transfers are not discussed with the public or media.

Funerals:  Inmates may, with special permission, be taken to a private viewing or visitation following the death of a close family member.  Such visits only occur with the permission of the Courts and the Sheriff’s Office following a thorough security review of the location and the inmate’s record; including any outside information available.  Visitations following a death must be within Cumberland County and will be done at unannounced times.  The inmate will be transported in full security restraints and may, at the discretion of the Sheriff’s Office, be required to wear jail uniform.

The “287 g” program at the Cumberland County jail is one of the first 50 such programs in the country.  Under this program the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office identifies people charged with crimes after they are brought to jail who are suspected criminal aliens.  Where appropriate, a detainer is lodged against the suspect and the appropriate federal officials review the information obtained to determine if the suspect should be deported following the completion of any court proceeding or sentence imposed by the courts.  Only persons charged with crimes and brought to the jail are reviewed by this program.  Our goal is to remove people from the Cumberland County community who commit illegal acts and who willfully endanger our citizens and residents while guests of this country.
