The Southampton County Jail has two facilities that are operated by the Southampton Sheriff. These facilities are the county jail and the jail farm, in which inmates are housed both pretrial and for the remainder of their sentence. Determining the location of an inmate is completed during their assessment and classification upon arrival at the jail. After booking has been completed inmates go through a medical and mental health assessment, as well as a review of their prior charges and behavior if they have been previously incarcerated, in addition to the current charges. The main jail is the maximum security location for violent crimes and inmates who are at higher risk for security concerns. Sentences can be served here for up to one year, but due to the temporary nature of the facility any longer sentences are transferred to another location to be completed. This is a male facility with no female or juvenile offenders, both of whom are sent to alternative facilities that are nearby. With a capacity of 59 inmates, there are agreements in place with alternative facilities to house any overflow and avoid overcrowding when possible. To care for the health of all those detained here, there is a nurse on staff who responds to requests for treatment at both locations, and further care is provided when needed. Food services are provided and offer three full and balanced meals that will provide the correct nutritional values. There is also a work release program through the same office. Phone service is provided through securustech.net and allows friend and family to create an account and add money to the phone account for an inmate, which permits them to call during the daytime hours after breakfast and until lockdown each night. They are also permitted to have visitors once a week, and these visits must be planned in advance to ensure they will be prepared and available. Visiting hours vary depending upon housing location and should be confirmed with the inmate prior to scheduling.

Paying bail for someone in Southampton County

After being arrested and booked into Southampton County Jail in Courtland, the arrestee's situation will proceed in one of three ways:

1. They may be released without bail and required to attend a court hearing.
2. They may be held in custody until their court date.
3. Bail can be posted for their release; call 757-653-2100 for the exact bail amount.

There are multiple ways to pay bail.

  • Cash bonds are paid in full at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails let you pay by card at a lobby kiosk or with an online bond vendor for a fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number when you go, and the jail is at 757-653-2100.
  • Licensed bail bond agents in Southampton County can facilitate the process.
  • Many courts accept a home or land as collateral for bond, as long as the owner proves clear title and equity at least equal to the bond amount (often twice it) with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Southampton County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Southampton County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Southampton County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
