An Inmate Disciplinary Hearing Officer (IDHO) judges these complaints in an administrative due process hearing. If the inmate is found guilty, the IDHO may impose a sanction on the inmate, which may include loss of visitations, loss of commissary, punitive isolation, and/or payment of restitution.

The Weber County Jail contracts with an outside vendor for inmate meals.

When an inmate has the appropriate classification, he/she may apply for the privilege of working within the facility. Inmates may be paid a small hourly stipend. Some examples of the jobs available are: Culinary Workers, Librarian, Custodial Services, and Laundry Services.
