Jail Quarantine Announcement
In response to some of the jail inmates coming back with positive Covid-19 tests we are quarantining the entire jail population effective today, October 14th. Even though these that have tested positive have been largely asymptomatic (not having bad symptoms like low oxygen levels etc.) we think it is prudent to quarantine to prevent the further spread.
​
You will still be able to do video visitation, phone calls, e-mails etc. with the folks in custody.
​
We have observed the mistruths that have been posted on social media the last couple of days, I can assure you that we are monitoring all the inmates in the facility and we are testing and following the state health departments guidelines and recommendations.
​
We provide medical care to the inmates that far exceeds what most of them receive while they are not in custody.
​
Please do not call and ask if your relative or loved one has tested positive, due to HIPPA regulations we cannot release this information to you. If the inmate tests positive they will be told the results of their test and they can share it with you if they wish.
​
Please do not believe everything you read on social media, some folks just like to spread rumors and panic when there is no need.
​
My jail staff and I took an oath, to protect and serve, this includes people who are incarcerated as well.
​
We take this oath very seriously and would never purposefully do anything to endanger the citizens of this county or their loved ones who might be in custody.
Your Sheriff, Clark Millsap
Matt Aliberti
Rank: Deputy Sheriff
Badge #:
End of Watch: June 22, 2020
Cause: Illness
Age: 39
Years of Service:
Matt Aliberti, age 39, passed away on Monday, June 22, 2020. Matt was born on September 4, 1980 in Springfield, MA, son of Michael Aliberti and Dale Clancy Aliberti. Matthew Aliberti was the epitome of an exceptional man who was loved by everyone around him. He was known for his booming voice, which was somehow a mix of a northern accent with a hint of southern twang. Matt was an unsung war hero who had a passion for service to both his fellow man and his community. He served with honor in the United States Army, as a military contractor, and as a Deputy Sheriff. While as a deputy, Matt refused to do the bare minimum. He pushed to be the best at everything that was placed in his path. Matt excelled as a deputy, a S.W.A.T. Team member, a sniper, and a K-9 handler. He was a loving father, a devoted husband, a brave soldier, a trusted mentor, a humble warrior, and so much more to many. We will remember you for your larger-than-life personality, your entertaining method of "fixing" things that never seemed to pan out, your contagious smile, your "Alibertitude," and your big heart. Rest easy, Matt, you deserve it. Till we see you again. We love you.
