In 2023 we started having Church Services and Bible Studies within the Drew County Detention Facility. From 2023 until 2025 we had witnessed 14 detainees and State Inmates dedicate their lives to Christ while making a public profession through Baptism. As of today, March 9, 2026 we have now witnessed 27!
I am very proud of these 13 men and women (many I have known for years and even watched grow up) who made that public profession today at Pauline Baptist Church. While the Devil tried to do his best to ruin the day we would not allow that to happen. He made cuffs not want to come off and he even tried locking the rear doors on the transport van where detainees couldn’t get out to be baptized but we made sure to help fulfill God’s plan and we got them there.
I want to thank all of those who come and witness to these men and women and to our staff for making it work!
God is at work,
Sheriff Tim Nichols
