Sarpy County Safety Program

This program is divided into four categories. The 4-Hour STOP (Safety Training Option Program) Class is a program for traffic offenders. These people undergo a training program within the county to get a chance for dismissal of their citations. This program has a similar purpose to the 8-Hour STOP Class program. The 8-Hour Defensive Driving Course is a course for the reinstatement of a driving license. Additionally, this program helps people to acquire employment driving permits and under age 21 six-point accumulation. Lastly, the motorcycle training class is a program whose goal is to provide instructions to riders and future riders in general.

The Sarpy County Jail

This jail is a medium-security facility that serves Papillon and other cities and municipalities in the county. Moreover, it accommodates both males and females above the age of 16 years. Being a county facility, the jail is under the management of the county sheriff's department. However, the state of Nebraska Department of Corrections is responsible for overseeing the operations of the facility. The jail's security is under the responsibility of sergeants and deputies under the sheriff's supervision. While this is a rehabilitation center, it also serves an empowerment purpose to its offenders. For instance, it has a GED program that ensures that inmates get quality education. Even better, the jail has a mental unit under the watch of a doctor and a health nurse. In the event of an emergency, there is an ambulance on-site to attend to the crisis. Ideally, the facility caters to all-around inmate needs to make them better citizens.

Bond Money

The jail accepts bond money from Monday to Friday, from 8 AM to 11 AM, and 12:15 PM to 4:45 PM. Moreover, it accepts all modes of payment, from debit cards, credit cards to cash payments. However, the state does not accept commercial bonds, including this county. As a result, the court determines the bail amount on the extent of the offense. Inmates either pay the money themselves or get assistance from family or friends, but only if they don't want to remain in prison until their court date. Unlike other states in the United States, Nebraska manages its own bail bond scheme.

New Jail Project

Sarpy County is currently in the process of constructing a new facility. This facility will serve as a Branch Correctional Center to the current one. Mainly, the new project's purpose is to reduce overcrowding in the facility. Additionally, it is under construction to better serve the needs of Sarpy County residents. The construction is underway as of February 2021. In addition, the facility has a 400-bed capacity, being built next to the existing jail.

For instance, if you want to know about an inmate's custody, you should call the toll-free VINE hotline, 877-634-8463 (877-NE-4-VINE), and follow the prompts given by the VINE service. Also, you can access the following additional information on an inmate:
