Welcome to the official website of the Russell County Sheriff's Department Corrections Division. I hope our site can be of service to you in providing information related to the safety and security of the public, staff and inmates, as well as show you the correctional programs and options afforded through application of professional, ethical and legal standards.

The corrections division provides jail services for all law enforcement agencies in Russell County. The facility was built in 1991 and was originally constructed to house 147 inmates. In 1994 the facility was expanded to house an additional 68 inmates for a total of 215 inmates. The jail handles approximately 3780 arrestees in 2006.

Weekly programs offered to the inmates include General Education Development, Family Planning / Parenting Skills, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Bible Studies. These programs benefit not only the inmate, but the community.

The corrections division is under the direction of the Jail Administrator. The day to day supervision of the facility is under the direction of the Assistant Jail Administrator, four shift sergeants and one property and supply sergeant.

The Russell County Jail provides incarceration for persons of pre-trial and post trial. We also offer alternatives to jail incarceration. These programs include work release and work crew programs.
