Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Montgomery County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

Published county Sheriff office contact. Alabama section 14-6-1 assigns the Sheriff custody/charge of the county jail and committed prisoners, except where otherwise provided by law. This is general responsible-agency assistance, not a dedicated booking hotline.

Montgomery County Sheriff general office: (334) 832-1646

Ask the Sheriff office how to confirm custody in the county jail or determine the responsible detention operator. If the arrest is too recent for booking, ask the arresting agency about an initial hold or transfer. The number was not called.

Office hours and disclosure may be limited. This does not establish municipal lockup custody or a working person-search form.

Official county Sheriff contact record

Published county Sheriff office contact. Alabama section 14-6-1 assigns the Sheriff custody/charge of the county jail and committed prisoners, except where otherwise provided by law. This is general responsible-agency assistance, not a dedicated booking hotline.

Use the published contact for responsible-agency custody assistance.

Search Alabama participating-agency custody — VINE name-search fields reached without signing in; participating-agency coverage must be verified Not an endorsement of VINE for complete Alabama custody coverage; use county sheriff/local map for arrest/pretrial.

Local source reviewed 2026-10-05. This is published phone assistance; the number was not called.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the Alabama correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Search the Federal BOP locator U.S. Marshals district directory

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.

Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are being held, this is how getting them out works in Alabama.

Commercial bail available

Release depends on the court’s order. A payment is not required in every case. Ask the court which secured-bond options, if any, are permitted; a private commercial bond service has separate fees and conditions. Confirm the process before paying anyone.

The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.
