Detention
Division
The Detention Division of the
Wilcox County Sheriff's Office is vital to the Department. One
of the duties of the Office of the Sheriff spelled out by law
is to keep and maintain a county jail. The detention
officers make this possible. The Detention Officers are
responsible for making sure inmates stay locked up, seeing that
the inmates needs according to law are being met, and for
booking-in and processing new inmates.
In addition to these duties,
detention officers conduct prisoner transports and assist the
administrative staff in office functions.
