Wilcox County Sheriff Jail Information

The Wilcox County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail in Camden. Like many small rural counties in Alabama, they do not have a public online jail roster. To find out about current inmates, you need to contact the office directly.

Wilcox County is one of the smallest counties in Alabama by population, with about 10,000 residents. The county is largely rural with farmland and forest. Camden is the only incorporated town and serves as the county seat.
