Work Release
The Pennington County Jail maintains a work, school, or job search release program, which allows an inmate to maintain his or her employment, search for employment or attend school, while serving a court ordered sentence. The Work Release Center for the Pennington County Jail is located in a residential area and we do everything possible to be good neighbors. During the winter months the inmates may be instructed to help shovel snow off the sidewalks and yard work will need to be done during the rest of the year. There is also an area called the "Red Zone" that is off limits. This Red Zone is the residential area to the north of the Work Release Center. It also includes the Civic Center parking lot and the Central High School parking lot. When leaving the parking lot to the east, go to Haines and then north or south from Haines. Inmates traveling to the west may use Mt. Rushmore Road.
