Medical

Inmate Library

A library is available to inmates. If an inmate's classification prohibits visiting this library, books are taken to him/her. Donated books for inmates' use are accepted at the jail reception area Monday through Friday.

Inmate Trust Account

Friends and family members may deposit money into the Inmate Trust Account, also known as an inmate's "books." This money may be deposited at the jail reception desk during the lobby hours in the form of cash or money order. Money orders may also be sent through the U.S. Mail. Cash, however, will not be accepted through the mail.

Commissary

Inmates may purchase approved commissary items once per week by using the money in their Inmate Trust Account. Approved items may include personal hygiene items, candy, snacks, and other various items.

Inmate Mail

Inmates may receive mail. Mail must come through the U.S. Mail system and will not be accepted at the lobby window. All mail is inspected prior to delivery to inmates. No writing, other than the inmate's and sender's name and address information, may be on the envelope. Photographs are accepted, but may not be larger than 4x6. Polaroid photos are not accepted.

Inmate Disciplinary

The Weber County Jail has rules that inmates must follow. If an inmate violates facility rules, he/she may be charged with the violation. An Inmate Disciplinary Hearing Officer (IDHO) judges these complaints in an administrative due process hearing. If the inmate is found guilty, the IDHO may impose a sanction on the inmate, which may include loss of visitations, loss of commissary, punitive isolation, and/or payment of restitution.

Food Service

The Weber County Jail contracts with an outside vendor for inmate meals.

Inmate Workers

When an inmate has the appropriate classification, he/she may apply for the privilege of working within the facility. Inmates may be paid a small hourly stipend. Some examples of the jobs available are: Culinary Workers, Librarian, Custodial Services, and Laundry Services.
