Androscoggin County Jail is a county jail in Auburn, Maine, run by the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office. It holds people awaiting trial or sentencing and people serving shorter county sentences. The jail is rated for 160 beds but has held as many as 236 people at once in recent winters, which has pushed Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford counties to fund a feasibility study on a possible shared regional jail. No regional facility exists yet, so this guide covers Androscoggin County Jail as it operates today. This guide covers how to confirm someone is in custody, the visitation approval process and hours, sending money through Access Corrections, Securus phone calls, and the jail's 2024 mail policy change. All data is verified from the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office.
