The County Commissioners
They pay for the jail. The sheriff runs it.

- What they don'tDay-to-day operations. The sheriff is separately elected and has charge of the county jail by state law (Ohio Rev. Code 341.01) — unless the county uses a regional jail run by a multicounty board.
- NoteThree-member board at 200 East Main Street, Jackson; meets Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. Members listed: Donnie Willis (President), Jon Hensler (Vice President), Paul Haller.

Notes on the record
- The sheriff's site names the jail the 'Jackson County Correctional Facility (JCCF)' at 372 Portsmouth St., across from the sheriff's office at 350 Portsmouth St.
- Fees scored on the jail page, which publishes a $20 booking fee, a $2 entry-pack fee and a $4 commissary deposit service fee.
- No in-custody roster, rated capacity, jail budget line, deaths record, PREA material, county-posted inspection report, housing contract or bond-posting guidance found on jacksonso.org or jacksoncountyohio.us. The sheriff's FAQ and Services pages cover CCW, background checks and sheriff's sales only.
- Phone and web checks credited to the office.
- State inspection/oversight: Ohio's Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, through its Bureau of Adult Detention, inspects full-service county jails each year against the Minimum Standards for Jails in Ohio (Ohio Adm. Code 5120:1-8) and publishes the reports on its own website.
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Jackson County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
