RCDC Mission Statement

The mission of the Ravalli County Detention Center is to provide a safe and secure confinement and management of persons who have been placed into our custody. We aim to serve the citizens of Ravalli County to the best of our ability, utilizing every resource made available to us. 

The Ravalli County Detention Center works in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies, the courts, and the criminal justice system, and to ensure that individuals are present for court appearances and the court-imposed sentences are completed.

The Ravalli County Detention Center will confine persons in a responsible and humane manner that maintains self-dignity. The Ravalli County Detention Center will strive to ensure that individuals will leave the facility in no worse condition, physically or psychologically, than when they entered.

With the belief that change is always possible, the Ravalli County Detention Center will make opportunities available for inmates to become involved in community-based programs which strive to promote change, self-esteem and a positive approach to law-abiding lifestyles.

The Ravalli County Detention Center will provide a safe and positive work environment for its staff. It will operate in accordance with the statutes of the State of Montana and the Constitution of the United States of America.

A Policy and Procedure manual is maintained according to current State Statutes and Regulations, to establish facility guidelines for the safety of staff and inmates, and to ensure that the operation of the Ravalli County Detention Center does not violate individuals' Constitutional Rights.
