The Russell County Adult Detention Facility or Jail was originally built in 1955. The facility has undergone several remodels and upgrades of technology. The correctional staff consists of 6 Full-time Correctional officers and 1 Jail Administrator who work 12 hour shifts and handle the jails population of 21 Beds. The population can exceed our capacity very quickly so often time the staff is on the road handling inmate transports to other facilities in our area. The Facility operates housing both male and female prisoners, work release inmates and D.O.C. holds that come through our doors. Staff book in and book out inmates and the average daily population is 19+ inmates a day. The Jail was recently upgraded from boiler heat to Central Heat and Air to make living conditions more flexible than the old boiler system. Staff are trained in Jail operations through The Kansas Sheriff’s Association and other specialized training which includes Cell Extraction and Electronic Defense Inmate Transport systems. Inmates are given weekly commissary, visitation, and phone access in every cell. Meals are provided to the inmates from our own kitchen facilities.
