As of October 11, 2023, the Randolph County Detention Center is a 367-bed facility serving all of Randolph County's Law Enforcement Agencies. Both males and females are incarcerated at this facility from age 18 and up.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A jail expansion was approved to address inmate overcrowding and the ultimate need for additional, individual cells to better manage the inmate population. The expansion was completed under the direction of current Sheriff Greg Seabolt and the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. Once the renovations are complete, the expansion will increase the inmate capacity to 422, increasing the facility to 101,091 square feet.
In August of 2021, the inmate population was moved into the new housing units. This allowed for renovations, which address safety and security issues, on the existing housing units. Currently, renovations have been completed to the existing kitchen, laundry and four existing housing units. Renovations continue to the booking/intake area to accommodate a larger inmate population. The renovations are expected to be completed in early 2024.
