regional jail
Local detention facility
A regional jail is a detention facility that serves multiple counties or jurisdictions rather than a single locality.
These jails typically house inmates awaiting trial or serving shorter sentences, pooling resources across a geographic area: The regional jail holds prisoners from six surrounding counties.
The arrangement allows smaller jurisdictions to share costs of housing and supervision.
