The licensed capacity of the Crenshaw County Jail is 50 inmates, though the jail frequently has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails see at least 40% of inmates turn over monthly, 30% more every 90 days, and 20% more every six months, while around 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Stays longer than twelve months are usually tied to serious charges such as rape or murder.

Crenshaw County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,000 offenders annually.
The Crenshaw County Jail, at 186 Justice Avenue in Luverne, is one of the smaller county jails in south Alabama. Built in 1978, it is an adult-only, medium-security facility that handles booking for people arrested in the county on misdemeanor and felony charges. Guards, nurses and volunteers work at the jail. Staff answer (334) 335-3860 around the clock, and that is the quickest way to learn whether someone is in custody, what the charges are, and the bond amount. VINELink also shows custody status.

Most defendants are entitled to bail under the Alabama Constitution.

The May 2026 Amendment 1 (81.6% yes) added solicitation, attempt or conspiracy to commit murder and shooting into an occupied building or vehicle. The Rule 7.2 schedule is a guide, not a ceiling: $10,000–$60,000 for a Class A felony, $5,000–$30,000 for Class B, $300–$6,000 for a Class A misdemeanor, $1,000–$7,500 for DUI. Release can be on personal recognizance, an unsecured bond, or a secured bond paid in cash, pledged with property, or written by a bail bond company.
