Which Lawrenceville Address Applies?
The Sheriff’s Office and Lawrence County Jail do not share an address. The State Route 250 location is the Sheriff's Office and sheriff-sale site. The jail, where county custody and release processing occur, is on Lexington Avenue. Before traveling, call and describe the exact booking, release sheet, or movement entry you want. That step can prevent a trip to the wrong office.
Court orders and certified docket copies come from the Lawrence County Circuit Clerk at 1100 State Street, phone (618) 943-2815, during the listed 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. hours. A court order may explain the authority for release, while the jail record supplies the actual custody event.
