About the Maleng Regional Justice Center

Maleng Regional Justice Center is located in Kent, Washingon and contains local courts and holding facilities for arrestees brought in by law enforcement agencies. This facility was built in 1995.

The holding facility in the jail houses inmates for short-term stays. In-custody visitation is allowed so inmates can have contact with friends and family during their incarceration. MRJC Inmates get transported from the 1,000-bed jail as needed for all appointments and court dates.

in 2023, due to overcrowding and staffing shortages, inmates were moved from the King County Correctional Facility in downtown Seattle, where they closed down an entire floor of the jail building, to Maleng Regional Justice Center, where medication-assisted treatments for incarcerated individuals are being offered, particularly those with substance addiction problems.

You can scroll down or click here for detailed information particular to Maleng Regional Justice Center for Visitation, Mail, Phone services, sending Money, Bail, Commissary and Tablet rental info. Visitation with Tablets becomes increasingly popular when visitation gets restricted due to staffing issues and other health-related directives like Covid-19 protocols.
