The Walton County Jail was the recipient of the 2025 American Jail Association Innovation Award for a medium-sized jail.
The award is presented to facilities that have developed an innovative and progressive approach that helps the industry as a whole. Awards are based on the size of the facilities: large (1,000+ beds), medium (100-999 beds), and small (under 100 beds).
Join us in congratulating the hard work of the men and women who work behind the scenes, whose mission is the care, custody, and control of incarcerated individuals at the Walton County Jail.
