The Berrien County Jail has a nurse who is trained in emergency medicine at our facility or on call 24 hours a day and a doctor who is assigned to us under contract. If an inmate is sick, they would fill out a medical request to see the nurse. The Sheriff and our jail staff are not doctors and cannot give medical advice to inmates. The nurse and doctor make all medical decisions.
