Inmate Medical Services

Medical services for inmates are provided through a contract between the Calhoun County Commission and a licensed correctional healthcare provider. Individuals in custody receive medical care while housed at the Calhoun County Jail.

Inmates are evaluated and treated in the Jail Medical Office in a private setting comparable to a physician’s examination room.

Questions regarding inmate medical care may be directed to the Jail Nurse at 256-241-8033. Medical information is protected under HIPAA and cannot be released without proper authorization.

Jail staff cannot accept medication for an inmate. All medication must be approved and accepted by jail medical staff.
