Regional jails
Most jails are run by counties or cities, but there are also "regional" jails "created by two or more local governing bodies through cooperative agreements" (source).
For some research projects, it can be helpful to have a list of these regional facilities, so we prepared this list of the 75 regional jails that responded to the Census of Jails, 2013 and 10 jails listed in the codebook as not responding to the survey for a total of 85 regional jails.
