Captain David Suciu oversees daily operations as Jail Administrator. All correctional officers at 1840 East Pike in Zanesville receive training in crisis intervention, strategic inmate management, first aid, and cultural diversity.

Classification is a key part of jail operations. When someone is booked in, staff assess their risk level based on the charges, past record, and behavior.

The jail also screens each person for medical needs and mental health concerns during intake. Muskingum County handles both male and female inmates at this facility, with separate housing areas for each group. If an inmate's situation changes, like new charges or a behavioral issue, the jail can reclassify them and move them to a different unit.
