Super unprofessional, employees share information about you to others(hippa violation). The acting judge was extremely rude and had no idea what she was doing. No one knows any information they tell you something that isn’t even right. Or make up info to fear monger you. Their sheriffs office isn’t any better untrained staff who are extremely rude. Their cops don’t even know their own laws set in place. It’s also impossible to get ahold of anyone there.

I dont recommend going here or the Powell county jail, they do not do their jobs properly. The Worst jail and court house. Needs new management.

Every person I talked to today was amazing. In both district and justice court. I called to make a court fine payment and the ladies were all very kind and professional. Thanks ladies!
