This is a private reference site, not the Clarke County Sheriff's Department, the Clarke County Jail, the Circuit Clerk, ADOC, BOP, ICE, or a court office. This site cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visitation, or pull an official booking record. Contact the government office that controls the record for those actions.
Where to Ask for an Inmate or Record
Use the official Clarke County contacts below when the question needs a government answer. The research did not locate a separate adult jail records-unit page, a sheriff records form, or adult jail lobby hours, so call first before visiting.

Choose the office by the type of information you need:
- For a person believed to be in the Clarke County Jail, start with jail inmate records and call the jail at (251) 275-8156.
- For booking-photo questions, review jail roster mugshots. Clarke County did not publish an official adult mugshot gallery in the reviewed sources.
- For charges, warrants, filings, court dates, or dispositions after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, the Circuit Clerk, and AlaCourt resources.
- For facility-specific details, use the Clarke County Jail and Clarke County Short Term Juvenile Detention Facility pages linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced Alabama prisoner, use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search instead of the county jail.
- For federal custody or immigration detention, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. ICE does not list minors under 18, and juvenile records are confidential.
