The Russell Co Jail, located at 210 E 4th St in Russell, KS, is a secure detention center operated by the Russell County Sheriff's Office. This facility primarily houses individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, typically for less than two years. It accepts inmates from various jurisdictions, including surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service, and the Russell Police Department.

New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others await their court appearances at the facility, receiving necessary accommodations such as bedding and meals. View all arrest records here.

Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call.

The 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, 2 part-time Correctional Officers, and 1 Jail Administrator who work 12-hour shifts and handle the jail’s population of 21 beds.  The population can exceed our capacity very quickly so often times the staff is on the road handling inmate transports to other facilities in our area.  The facility houses both male and female prisoners, along with work release inmates and DOC holds that come through our doors.  The staff books in and books out inmates and the average daily population is 19 inmates. The jail was recently upgraded from boiler heat to central heat and air.  The staff is 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 by the jail staff
