Correctional healthcare built around the Moss Justice Center's 565-bed detention center and the York County Prison behind it.
York County runs two custody facilities, the 565-bed Moss Justice Center detention center under the Sheriff's Office and the 256-bed York County Prison under the Public Works Department. GENESYS would take on physician leadership across both populations, matching the detention center's 19,463 annual nursing encounters and 13,875 processed prescriptions with the longer-stay chronic care the prison's sentenced population needs.
GENESYS is physician-owned, with a named medical director accountable for clinical policy and NCCHC-aligned standards of care, and clinical decisions made by doctors rather than a minimum-cost staffing plan. Vacancies are covered through overtime, compliance pool nurses and PRN staffing pools so open shifts across both facilities are filled. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through a staffing plan covering both York County facilities.
Every GENESYS contract is built from the same nine services, sized to the facility's population and staffing model. Each one has its own page with the detail.
We will walk through a staffing plan, coverage hours and how the transition would work for your population.
The York County Sheriff's Office runs the York County Detention Center, a 565-bed direct supervision facility at the Moss Justice Center on York Highway in York, described as the sixth largest detention facility in South Carolina by capacity, in a county of 282,090 people.
Behind the Moss Justice Center sits the York County Prison, a separate 256-bed minimum-security facility for sentenced inmates operated by the York County Public Works Department rather than the Sheriff's Office. A healthcare partner here covers two custody operations on one campus, run by two different county departments, under one clinical standard.
The Moss Justice Center detention center holds people awaiting trial or serving short sentences, while the York County Prison behind it holds sentenced inmates in a minimum-security setting under the Public Works Department. Longer stays at the prison call for ongoing chronic care management and medication continuity, where the detention center's own medical division is built around short-stay intake screening and a fast turnover of bookings. A single prison healthcare standard across both populations, rather than two separate arrangements, keeps care consistent regardless of which county department runs the building.
In the 2025 reporting year, the Detention Medical Division logged 19,463 nursing encounters and 1,691 mental health encounters against 6,467 new inmates booked, plus 13,875 prescriptions processed and 413 inmates transported for outside medical care. That volume runs through a Medical Services Coordinator, one part-time physician, one part-time pharmacist and seven nurses, with a full-time mental health professional embedded from Catawba Mental Health. A program at this scale has to keep pharmacy throughput, nursing encounters and an outside mental health partner coordinated on one schedule.
York County Prison is run by the Public Works Department, not the Sheriff's Office, even though it sits behind the Moss Justice Center.
Yes. The York County Sheriff's Office runs the 565-bed Moss Justice Center detention center, and the York County Public Works Department separately operates the 256-bed York County Prison for sentenced inmates behind it.
