Jail records, court & arrest records, mugshots and even judicial reports
The Alabama Department of Corrections oversees the state’s prison system and is responsible for providing custody, control, and rehabilitation of inmates. The agency operates prisons, community-based work release centers, and other correctional facilities throughout the state. Inmate records are public information and may be accessed through Alabama's Inmate Lookup system.
The Inmate Lookup system allows users to search for prisoners using their full name, or the DOC number assigned to the individual. Searches can also be conducted by location, allowing for a more targeted search of inmates housed in specific state prisons or county jails throughout Alabama.
In addition to detailed information about the inmate’s current status, Inmate Lookup also provides photographs of the individuals and basic biographical data such as their age, gender, and race. Inmates’ criminal records, physical descriptions, aliases, charges, and other important information can also be found on the system.
If further information is needed about an individual inmate or about the prison system in general, the Alabama Department of Corrections offers additional resources on its website. Users can find links to prisoner emails and visitation schedules, as well as inmate health resources and contact information for corrections staff.
For county jails, check the website of the specific county where the inmate is being held. Many counties have their own inmate search tools that allow you to find information about current inmates. If you're unable to locate the inmate through these resources, reach out to the county sheriff's office for assistance.
