Case Management Services

Case management services are provided to all inmates at the Allegheny County Jail.

Working under the direction of the Deputy Warden, all caseworkers are responsible for providing assorted services for the incarcerated individual population at the facility. Caseworkers visit their assigned housing units on a day-to-day basis and address the concerns of the incarcerated individuals and staff as needed. It is their duty to respond in a timely manner to inmate requests.

Caseworkers do not relay messages to inmates.
