Lookup an inmate in Alabama

Alabama Inmate Search is your organized starting point for finding incarceration information across the state. Built for families, legal professionals, journalists, and concerned residents, this site brings together official inmate locators, jail rosters, and facility details so you can move from question to answer without digging through dozens of pages. Whether you’re searching statewide through the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) or focusing on a single county jail, you’ll find clear guidance on how to look up someone by name or AIS number, interpret result pages, and understand next steps.

Begin with the statewide ADOC inmate search to locate people in state custody. Our guide explains how to search by AIS number or name, what each result field means, and how to view a facility profile, housing status, and key dates. From there, we help you shift to county-level records when a person is held pretrial or on a shorter sentence.

Visitation and communication policies vary widely. Our county and facility guides summarize essentials like scheduling onsite or video visits, identification requirements, dress codes, and arrival times. You’ll also find practical tips on setting up phone accounts, sending mail that meets jail standards, and funding commissary deposits without delays.

If bond is listed, we explain how to read bond types and amounts so you can plan your next move, including confirming whether multiple cases require separate bonds. When bond is not shown on the roster, you’ll learn where to look for charging documents or court calendars to verify status changes.

Because rosters change frequently, Alabama Inmate Search emphasizes accuracy and verification. Each guide points you to the official roster or search portal, clarifies update schedules where available, and notes common reasons a record might not appear (recent booking, sealed case, or transfer). When a county provides additional tools—such as warrant lookups or recent arrest logs—we show you how to use them alongside the inmate list to get a fuller picture.
