Lauderdale County Detention Facility

In an effort to best serve the County of Lauderdale and its citizens, the Lauderdale County Detention Facility, operated by the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department, serves as a holding facility for pre-trial suspects to assure their appearance at trial or other judicial proceedings, and to hold short-term convicted offenders until their lawful release and state prisoners until their transfer. The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department will take the necessary steps to maintain safe, secure and humane custody of confined individuals during their confinement, complying with all applicable federal, state and local statutes. A fully staffed Medical Department in the Lauderdale County Detention Center gives prompt medical care and is available to the inmates around the clock.
