Clarke County Contact Routes

County Custody and Records

For a current custody question or jail-record routing, begin with the jail. For sheriff public-information or booking-record routing, use the sheriff’s office. The research did not locate published public counter hours, a specific records-unit line, a fee schedule, or a turnaround promise, so ask the receiving office for those details before visiting or sending a request.

A focused request should give a full name, approximate booking date, and known agency or case/booking number. Ask whether the requested booking record or photograph is maintained and releasable, what fee applies, and whether an electronic copy is available. Do not assume that a historical third-party listing establishes current custody or a current photo policy.

Choose the Right Office

Different records have different custodians. The county’s online adult roster and public same-day feed were not verified, so the contact route depends on the question.

• For county custody and intake status, call Clarke County Jail.
• For a sheriff-held booking record or photo request, call the Sheriff’s Department.
• For an arrest incident report, contact the arresting agency. Jackson Police lists (251) 246-4484; Thomasville and Grove Hill publish general city contacts, not verified police-records lines.
• For a case number, court date, or disposition, use the Clarke court site or Alabama’s Just One Look service.
• For a sentenced state prisoner, use the ADOC inmate search. Federal and immigration custody have separate BOP and ICE locators.

For search-path context, use the county recent arrests hub, the same-day Arrested Today page, or the multi-day Arrest Reports page. A VINE result, where an agency participates, is a notification record rather than a court disposition.
