Contacts

This is a private reference site, not the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, the jail, ADOC, ABPP, or a court office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or obtain an official booking record for you. Use the appropriate government contact below for official action or confirmation.

Official DeKalb Release Contacts

For a local jail release or recent booking record, start with the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center. For case disposition, sentence, jail-credit, or certified court-copy questions, use the DeKalb Circuit Clerk. State-prison release and supervision questions belong with ADOC or ABPP.

Where to Start by Need

  • For a released inmate or release record, use the home page for the full DeKalb search path and records-request overview.
  • For supervision after an ADOC release, review Post-Release Supervision.
  • For people who may have just left the jail, use 24-Hour Releases and remember DeKalb's official feed is a 48-hour sheriff release list.
  • For a future or state-prison release date, compare Release Date Lookup with VINE Inmate Check.
  • For the county jail facility page, see DeKalb County Alabama Sheriff's Office Detention Center.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use ADOC's offender search and sentence-field definitions rather than the county jail roster.
  • For a federal or immigration custody question, use BOP or ICE channels because a county release entry may reflect transfer rather than full release.
