Russell County In-Custody Feed
The Russell County Sheriff's Office in-custody feed is the primary official online channel for current county jail information. The feed runs as a JavaScript application, so its controls did not appear in the gathered source text. Official search snippets did expose profile fields. A blank page or limited result should lead to a direct jail call, not an assumption that the person is not held.
The roster is a point-in-time custody source. It may include people booked on warrants, arrests, or pending charges, but an inmate listing is not a conviction. Release, transfer, bond, and new court orders can change quickly. For a case outcome, use the Russell County criminal court records. For people serving state prison sentences, use the Alabama Department of Corrections search rather than the county feed.
The official sheriff web app is shown below.
The sheriff site is the county source for the in-custody feed, public-safety updates, crime reports, and tip features.
Search the Russell County Roster
Start with the official feed and keep the jail number ready. The Russell County Detention Center URL found in research says users may view current inmates, but it did not return usable text during inspection. The sheriff feed remains the clearer official route. When identity matters, compare more than a name because several people can share one.
- Open the Russell County sheriff in-custody feed from the official link above.
- Use the controls shown by the live application. The gathered HTML did not prove which search field is required.
- Compare booking date, age, physical descriptors, and inmate ID to distinguish similar names.
- Call the Russell County Jail at 334-298-8621 when the feed does not load or the record seems stale.
- Ask the correct office about bond, release, court date, visitation, or records because each topic may have a different source.

The live application can change, so use the labels it displays and verify urgent custody facts with the jail.
Russell County Roster Search Fields
The research captured result fields but not the feed's input controls. That distinction prevents an invented last-name or booking-number requirement. The table reports only what the official source inspection proved. “Not visible” means the JavaScript feed must be checked live; it does not mean a field is absent.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search controls | Not visible in crawlable HTML | Unspecified | Use the current controls in the live JS application. |
| Booking Date | Result field | Not applicable | Official snippet showed month/day/year plus time. |
| Demographic details | Result fields | Not applicable | Gender, race, age, height, weight, eye color, and hair color appeared. |
| Inmate ID | Result field | Not applicable | A numeric identifier appeared in the official snippet. |
Note: Search controls may change without notice because the feed is part of an interactive sheriff platform.
Russell County Inmate Profile Fields
The visible inventory focuses on identity and booking details. Research did not prove that the feed displays charges, bond, a mugshot, arresting agency, projected release, or housing unit. Those facts should not be promised. Call the jail for current operational facts, and check the court case for filed charges and later outcomes.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Date | The date and time recorded for the custody intake. |
| Gender and race | Abbreviated demographic descriptors in the official result snippet. |
| Age | Numeric age shown with the custody profile. |
| Height and weight | Physical descriptors used to help identify the person. |
| Eye and hair color | Short codes for additional identity comparison. |
| Inmate ID | The numeric identifier attached to the sheriff custody entry. |
A profile field can contain a clerical error. Give the inmate ID and booking date when asking jail staff to check a record.
Russell County Jail Contacts
Official sources identify the Russell County Jail phone but do not publish a verified jail street address or capacity in the gathered text. The Sheriff's Office address is documented and serves as the law-enforcement and records contact. Do not mail inmate property or arrive for a visit based only on the sheriff office address. Call the jail for its current delivery and visitor instructions.

County Jail or State Prison
The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search covers people currently incarcerated in state prison. It does not replace the Russell County jail feed for county detainees. ADOC says historical data is not available online, Youthful Offender Act inmates are excluded, and a broad name query displays no more than 50 results. An Alabama Institutional Serial number, called an AIS number, is the strongest search key.
| ADOC field | Required | Search rule |
|---|---|---|
| AIS number | No | Exact six-digit match; takes precedence over name fields. |
| First name | No | Ignored when an AIS number is entered. |
| Last name | No | Must match with first name when both are entered. |
| Search | Yes to submit | Only the first 50 matching results are displayed. |
The official ADOC search capture appears below.
The state page is the correct fallback after transfer to ADOC, while county pretrial custody remains with Russell County.
Search order matters in ADOC. An AIS number overrides every name field, so a wrong serial number can prevent the intended name search. Without an AIS number, use both first and last name when possible and compare every returned identity field. If the person was recently sentenced in Russell County but does not yet appear, confirm transfer status with the county jail and the current court record. A county release may mean transfer rather than freedom.
Russell County Sheriff Mobile Apps
The Russell County Sheriff AL app is available through Google Play and the Apple App Store. The store descriptions support emergency information and public engagement. They do not prove an app-only inmate lookup, so the in-custody feed remains the documented roster source. The sheriff website also supports crime reporting, tips, interactive tools, news, and public-safety information.
The Android store listing is captured below.
The listing confirms the official Russell County app but does not establish a separate jail roster feature.
The official iPhone listing provides the second app source.
The iOS listing also describes accessibility support, while emergency contact still belongs on 911.
VINELink is a separate state-selection and custody-notification route where Alabama or local records participate. It can help with status alerts, but it is not the official Russell County booking file.
Read Russell County Booking Records
A booking date records intake into custody. It does not prove the final charge or case result. An arrest may be followed by release, bond, a first appearance, a prosecutor's filing decision, or transfer. The gathered official material does not supply a local intake timeline, classification process, or release calculation. Current custody questions must go to the jail.
For the filed case, the Circuit Clerk maintains District Court and Circuit Court records. A court file can add the charging document, plea, hearing entries, disposition, sentence, fines, probation, and appeal. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, medical, and investigative material may be withheld or redacted. The sheriff can also receive a public-record request for booking material not displayed online, though access rules still apply.
Use the office that owns the question. Jail staff handle present housing, bond, release, visit rules, and the status of property or funds. The Circuit Clerk handles filed state-court records at the Judicial Center. A defense lawyer or court addresses legal strategy and release orders. The District Attorney handles prosecution and victim or witness questions. Asking the jail to interpret a charge, or asking the clerk to confirm a housing detail, can lead to delay because those facts come from different systems.
A served warrant may explain why a person entered custody, but the warrant record and booking record are not interchangeable. The booking entry identifies intake. The court file identifies the filed allegation and later case events. If the feed shows an inmate but no captured charge field, call the jail for immediate custody detail and then use the court channels to confirm the filed case.
Verify Russell County Jail Visits
The official research file did not locate a published Russell County jail visitation schedule. It also did not verify visit length, days, a video platform, visitor approval rules, dress code, child visitor rules, or attorney visit procedure. Call 334-298-8621 before leaving home. Ask staff to state the current time, location, identification requirements, and whether the visit is in person or by video.
| Visit detail | Published official status | Required action |
|---|---|---|
| Days and hours | Not located | Call the jail before visiting. |
| In-person or video | Not confirmed | Ask which method applies to the inmate. |
| Visitor approval and ID | Not located | Confirm approval, age, and ID rules. |
| Children and dress code | Not located | Ask for current visitor restrictions. |
| Attorney visits | Not located | Request the professional-visit procedure. |
Important: Russell County visitation times and providers are a documented research gap, so verify every visit directly with the jail.
Russell County Inmate Mail and Funds
No crawlable official source confirmed the Russell County inmate mail format, banned-item list, mail-scanning practice, phone provider, video provider, commissary company, or money-deposit service. Do not send mail or funds based on a vendor found for another Alabama jail. Call the Russell County Jail and request the exact inmate name and ID format, mailing address, return-address rules, accepted items, deposit methods, fees, and refund policy.
The same caution applies to property drop-offs and medication. Ask jail staff what is accepted and where it must go. Never send cash unless the jail gives a current written rule allowing it. The absence of a published rule is not permission to choose a method.
Before calling, write down the inmate's full name, inmate ID if shown, and booking date. Ask whether the person is still housed there, which name and identification number must appear on mail, and whether the jail uses a post office box or street delivery. For money, request the approved vendor name, deposit modes, transaction fee, daily limit, and steps for a rejected deposit. For phone or video contact, request the provider, account setup, rate, scheduling rule, and technical-support number. None of those vendor details were verified in official Russell County sources.
Note: Use the jail phone for logistics and the Circuit Clerk for filed court records; the two offices answer different custody and case questions.
