County jail staff reported the Lawrence County Jail’s population stood at 146 inmates during the Dec. 4, 2025 board meeting.

An unidentified jail official gave the rollup: "total population at this point in time, I have 146 inmates." The speaker said six juveniles are currently in custody — previously five and an additional juvenile was received from Washington County earlier that day — and noted one juvenile had been released on recognizance. The official also reported 21 female inmates are housed in the county facility and that some inmates (reported as 18 or cited in a repeated line as 6 in the transcript) are being held at other facilities.

Board members did not propose policy changes in the public record; the population figures were presented for information. The meeting moved on to administrative business, including bills and a subsequent personnel resolution.
