Sheriff: Long County's new jail on track to open in August; administrators introduced

Long County Board of Commissioners · March 1, 2026

Summary

Sheriff Craig Nobles told commissioners the county jail construction is progressing and is expected to open in August; he introduced Major Sam Gordon as Jail Administrator and Julie Wells as Jail Administration Secretary.

Sheriff Craig Nobles told the Long County Board of Commissioners on March 12 that construction of the county’s new jail is progressing and that "the new jail is expected to open in August." He praised contractors and architects for their work and introduced Major Sam Gordon as the jail administrator and Julie Wells as the jail administration secretary.

The update was given during routine business at the board's regular meeting. The minutes do not record a construction timetable beyond the expected month and do not specify the bond amount authorized for the jail’s financing; the board later ratified a related bond resolution at a called meeting on March 22.

The sheriff’s office did not present a staffing plan or operational budget in the minutes; the introductions of Major Gordon and Julie Wells indicate the county is moving toward operational staffing while construction continues.
