About This Site

Finding a released person in DeKalb County depends on the custody path. A recent county-jail release may appear in the sheriff's 48-hour release list, while an Alabama prison release may need ADOC, ABPP, or victim-notification resources. This private site organizes those release paths, record boundaries, and official lookup points in one place.

What This Site Covers

Alabama law recognizes public access to many government records under Ala. Code Section 36-12-40, but a released-inmate search still requires the right source. The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office documents local jail releases, the Alabama Department of Corrections handles state-prison status and release fields, and the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles covers many post-release supervision records. This site explains those separate systems without presenting itself as an official record holder.


What You Can Find Here

The pages are written for people trying to separate a local jail release, an ADOC transfer, and a supervision record.


What This Site Cannot Do

DeKalb County Released Inmates is privately run. It is not connected to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, the DeKalb County Detention Center, ADOC, ABPP, the courts, or any other government agency.

  • We cannot release, hold, transfer, or locate a person in custody.
  • We cannot post bond, schedule visitation, accept deposits, or send messages for you.
  • We do not provide legal advice or tell anyone whether a record can be sealed or expunged under Title 15, Chapter 27.
  • We cannot promise that every address, phone number, fee, roster entry, or public-record procedure is current.

Only the originating government office can confirm current custody, release status, charges, court disposition, or official record availability.


Search Partners

Some search features may be supplied by outside providers. Those providers control their own prices, signup terms, and result sets. If a paid search or signup generates a referral payment, that support helps keep this reference site available, but it does not make the outside tool an official DeKalb County, Alabama, record source.
