The Kiesel Avenue facility was built in 1983 to take the place of the "old jail" located on top of the City/County building. In 1990, an addition was built to accommodate a greater number of inmates. In August of 2000, inmates were transferred to the 12th Street facility. The Kiesel facility was then reconfigured to become a work release and community service facility. The following Inmates are now placed in the Kiesel Avenue facility:

• Community Service Inmates
• Work Release Inmates
• Weekenders

Community Service inmates are assigned to several areas within the county to include providing assistance to Weber County Property Management, Ogden City, the Weber County Fairgrounds, the Weber County Transfer Station, Weber County Animal Shelter and the Weber County Sheriff’s Complex.
