Fisher County Jail: Arrests Are Held Out of County
The last prisoner left the Roby cells in 2023. Commissioners formally retired the county's cells in December 2025, two years after the last prisoner left, the Double Mountain Chronicle reported. Anyone who must stay in custody after a Fisher County arrest is held in another county’s jail under contract. Since the holding jail decides how families visit, write, call and send money, first ask the Sheriff’s Office at 325-776-2273 where the person is. Law enforcement work continues out of that same Roby office.
Offenders arrested in Fisher County are usually housed in either Scurry or Jones County Jails.

Other Jails and Prisons
Roby's lockup has stopped housing anyone. The jail inside the Law Enforcement Center at 207 E. N. 1st Street was emptied in 2023, and in December 2025 the Commissioners Court voted to decommission it, taking it off the state jail commission's roster (Double Mountain Chronicle). The Sheriff's Office and dispatch still work from that building.
