ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Jail is often seen only as a place of punishment, but for the men and women inside Alachua County’s facility, it can also be a turning point — a chance to confront struggles with addiction, finish an education, or prepare for life on the outside.

For nearly three decades, the Alachua County Commission has contracted with the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) to operate the county jail. The County funds maintenance, programming, and staffing, while ACSO manages daily operations and inmate care.
