Perry County Released Inmates

A Perry County release record answers a custody question: when did the person leave a jail, prison, detention program, or supervision-related setting, and what authority caused the exit. For a local jail booking, the record usually ties back to the Perry County Sheriff's Office, the jail record, the bond or court order, and the Perry County Circuit Clerk. For a state-prison sentence, the source changes to the Alabama Department of Corrections, Alabama VNS, and the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles. Federal and immigration cases use different systems again.

The most important local fact is that Perry County, Alabama does not publish a verified official recent-release feed in the research sources reviewed. A released person may no longer appear in a current custody view, and that absence by itself is not a certified release record. The 2025 and 2026 jail-closure reports add another layer: a Perry County detainee may have been housed in Cullman, Wilcox, or another county while the legal case still belonged to Perry County. That means the physical release entry and the court file may sit with different offices.

Perry County Release Types

Release language is not one-size-fits-all. A person can leave Perry County jail after posting bond, by a court order, after time served, by transfer to ADOC, by transfer to another county, or because another agency takes custody. A state prisoner can be paroled, placed on mandatory release, discharged at the end of sentence, or moved into a supervision program. The release type controls which record matters most.

Release Type	What It Means	Where To Confirm It
Bond or recognizance	The person leaves jail under bond or court conditions while the case continues.	Perry County Sheriff's Office, jail record, Perry County Circuit Clerk, Alacourt.
Time served	The custody term credited to the case is complete.	Jail release record and court sentencing or disposition record.
Transfer	Perry County custody ended, but another agency or facility may still hold the person.	Release reason, receiving facility, ADOC, BOP, ICE, or another county jail.
Parole or mandatory release	ADOC physical custody ends and ABPP supervision may begin.	ABPP, Alabama VNS, ADOC records, parole hearing or result pages.
Discharge	The sentence or custodial authority has ended for that system.	ADOC records request, court file, BOP locator, or agency custodian.

Transferred does not mean free. It means the Perry County jail role may have ended while another authority began. That difference is central when a person leaves local custody because of an ICE detainer, USMS pickup, ADOC sentence, or out-of-county hold.

Perry County Release Record Fields

No official Perry County online booking-detail layout was verified, so the release-record field list should be requested from the jail or custodian instead of copied from an unofficial portal. The useful request is narrow: identify the person, booking date, case or warrant number if known, and ask for the release date, release reason, release authority, and transfer information. If the person was physically housed outside Perry County during the closure period, ask which jail created the final release entry.

Field	What It Shows
Name and identifiers	Full name, date of birth, booking number, AIS number, or other record key.
Intake and release dates	When the person entered custody and when that custody ended.
Release reason	Bond, court order, time served, transfer, DOC commitment, hold, or discharge.
Case or warrant number	The court, warrant, capias, or criminal case tied to the booking.
Bond information	Bond amount and bond type when release was based on bond.
Receiving agency	The next jail, ADOC, ICE, USMS, another county, or supervision office if transferred.
Booking photo	A photo if held and releasable under the custodian's public-record rules.

Request Perry County Release Records

The local starting point is the Perry County Sheriff's Office and Perry County Jail channel. The official sheriff contact page lists Sheriff Roy Fikes, P.O. Box 157, Marion, AL 36756, and phone (334) 683-6534. The county facility directory lists Perry County Jail / James Hood Detention Facility at 202 Pickens St., Marion, AL 36756, with the same phone number. No county-specific online jail records form was found in the official sources reviewed.

Gather the person's full name, date of birth, approximate arrest or booking date, arresting agency, and any case or warrant number.
Contact the Perry County Sheriff's Office or the Perry County Jail facility listing and ask whether Perry County or another county had physical custody.
Request release date, release time if available, release reason, booking number, charges at booking, bond information, and any transfer or hold notation.
Check the Perry County Circuit Clerk or Alacourt ACCESS for the court event that authorized release.
If the person moved to ADOC, BOP, ICE, or ABPP supervision, continue with that agency instead of treating the jail record as the final status.

Perry County Jail Contact

Perry County Jail / James Hood Detention Facility
202 Pickens St.
Marion, AL 36756
Phone: (334) 683-6534

For ADOC records, the ADOC public records request form asks for requester details, Alabama residency attestation, inmate identifiers, a description of the records, preferred format, signature, and a non-refundable $20 processing fee. Fees and form requirements should be checked against the current ADOC form at the time of submission.

Alabama Release Record Law

Alabama public-records access is rooted in Code Sections 36-12-40 through 36-12-45. The state rule supports inspection and copying of public writings and records, subject to exceptions and office procedures. That does not mean every jail note, sealed case, juvenile matter, security detail, medical item, victim-protection item, or expunged record is public. It also does not mean each public record is online.

Alabama records access can support release-record requests, but the custodian decides what is held, what is public, and what exemptions apply.

A missing online result can mean several things: the database is current-only, the person used a different name, the case is sealed or expunged, the record belongs to another custodian, or a receiving jail processed the physical release. ALEA explains that expungement under Section 15-27 is granted by an Alabama court, not by ALEA itself. Once expungement applies, public visibility can change across court and law-enforcement channels.

Find Released Perry County Inmates

The search path starts with custody type. For a Perry County jail release, local sheriff records and Perry County court records are the main route because no verified county recent-release feed was found. For an ADOC state-prison release, the public inmate search is useful only for current custody checks because ADOC says historical data is not available online. For federal release, BOP has a historical locator. For ICE, the locator is built for current detention and very recent custody windows.

Decide whether the person was in Perry County jail, another Alabama county jail, ADOC, ABPP supervision, BOP, ICE, or a registry system.
For county jail, call the sheriff or jail and ask who physically held the person on the release date.
Check court records for bond, release order, dismissal, sentence, probation order, warrant recall, or transfer order.
Use ADOC only for state-prison custody and pair a no-result with VNS, ABPP, court records, or an ADOC records request.
Use VINELink or Alabama VNS for notifications, then verify legal proof with the records custodian.
Use BOP, ICE ODLS, or federal court sources when the release involved federal or immigration custody.

Why did the person drop off the roster? A jail roster usually shows current custody, not a complete release archive. Once release or transfer is processed, the record may move to the jail file, court record, ADOC record, receiving jail, or supervision system.

ADOC Search for Perry Releases

The ADOC inmate search accepts AIS number, first name, and last name. ADOC states that the AIS number is a unique six-digit number and that it takes precedence over name fields. That makes the AIS search the cleanest route for state-prison custody. The limitation is just as important: ADOC says the public database contains only currently incarcerated inmates and that historical data is not available online.

ADOC Field	Use	Release Limit
AIS number	Six-digit ADOC identifier, preferred when known.	Does not create a public historical discharge record.
First and last name	Name search when AIS is unknown.	Name matches can miss aliases or common-name conflicts.
Minimum Release Date	Earliest scheduled state-prison release to probation or end of sentence.	Can change after lost good time, new cases, or sentence changes.
Parole Consideration Date	Tentative parole-board timing.	Not the same as a physical release date.
Parole Status	Status such as parole, delinquency, or revocation while tracked.	Must be verified with ABPP for supervision details.

ADOC does not confirm a Perry County jail bond-out or time-served local release. A person arrested in Perry County may enter ADOC after sentencing, but that state-prison status is separate from the original jail booking.

Perry County Recent Releases

No verified official Perry County, Alabama, 24-hour release list, 72-hour release list, current-inmate roster, released roster, or booking-photo release feed was found in the official sources reviewed. The official county pages provide contact details for the sheriff and jail, but not a public release window, update cadence, retention period, online archive, or mobile app feed. Search results for similarly named Perry County portals can point to other states and must be excluded.

The same-day page for Released Last 24 Hours should be used as a local fallback workflow, not as proof that a county web feed exists. For a longer short-term check, the Released Last 72 Hours page focuses on weekend, holiday, and data-lag issues. In both cases, the practical route is sheriff contact, receiving-jail verification, and court records.

Perry Release Facility Logistics

Local release logistics changed after reports that the Perry County Jail was closed after a 2025 escape and repairs. WAKA reported that Sheriff Roy Fikes shut down the jail and that inmates were placed in Cullman and Wilcox county jails. ABC 33/40 reported male inmates taken to Cullman County. WSFA later reported detainees housed in Wilcox, Cullman, and other locations while repairs and inspections continued.

For a person released during that period, the right first question is not only whether Perry County had a booking. Ask which facility had physical custody on the date in question. Property return, pickup location, release time, and final release notation may depend on the receiving jail, while the court case and legal release authority remain tied to Perry County if the case began there.

Perry County Court Release Records

The Perry County Circuit Clerk is the record keeper for District and Circuit Court proceedings. Court records are often more durable than a jail roster because they show why release was legally allowed. Look for a bond order, release order, dismissal, nolle prosequi, acquittal, plea, sentencing order, probation order, split sentence, time-served credit, warrant recall, or capias status.

Alacourt ACCESS and Just One Look can provide statewide trial-court access, while detailed document images may require paid access or case-by-case purchase. A court record may not give the exact jail-door minute, but it can show the legal event that made release possible. Pair it with the sheriff or receiving-jail record when exact timing matters.

Perry Post-Release Supervision

Post-release supervision for Perry County runs through the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, not the jail. ABPP's statewide contact is 301 S. Ripley St., Montgomery, Alabama, phone (334) 242-8700, and questions@paroles.alabama.gov. Field-office sources identify Centreville as serving Perry County along with Bibb and Hale, with the local listing at 320 Market Street, Centreville, AL 35042, phone (205) 926-9900.

Perry County also has a local reentry angle: ABPP's PREP Center in Uniontown serves probationers and parolees in a residential reentry and rehabilitation setting. A person may have left prison or jail and then be placed at the PREP Center or under local ABPP supervision. The Parole / Probation page covers that verification path in more detail.

VINE Federal ICE Release Checks

VINELink Alabama and Alabama VNS are notification systems, not certified release-record repositories. Alabama VNS states that it covers offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC custody, and it directs people with cases not yet tried to contact the sheriff in the county where the crime occurred. That limit matters for Perry County jail bond-outs and pretrial releases.

Federal cases use the BOP Inmate Locator, which covers federal inmates from 1982 forward and can show released or not-in-BOP-custody status. ICE cases use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for current immigration detention checks. A county release followed by ICE or USMS custody is a transfer, not a community release.

Perry Release Date Terms

Release-date terms can sound similar but mean different things. ADOC's “Minimum Release Date” is the earliest scheduled state-prison release to probation or end of sentence, and ADOC says it can change. ABPP's parole set date is a parole-processing milestone, not a promise of immediate release. A jail release date is the local custody exit date for a booking, while a court disposition is the legal case event that may have led to release.

Discharge: The custodial sentence or authority has ended for that system.
Parole: Release from prison to supervision under ABPP conditions before the full sentence expires.
Probation: Court-ordered supervision that may replace or follow jail or prison time.
Detainer: A request or hold from another agency that may block or follow local release.
Expungement: A court-granted process that can limit public criminal-record visibility under Alabama law.

Perry Released vs Custody Lookup

A current-custody lookup and a release-record lookup answer different questions. Use the current system to see whether a person is held now. Use the release record, court record, supervision source, or agency records request to learn when and why custody ended.

System	Best For	Limit
Perry County Sheriff/Jail	Local booking release, bond release, jail transfer, booking photo request.	No verified public online recent-release feed was found.
Perry County Circuit Clerk/Alacourt	Legal event behind release, bond, disposition, sentence, probation.	May not show the exact physical release time.
ADOC	Current state-prison custody and minimum release fields.	Public search is current-only, not a historical release archive.
ABPP	Parole, probation, mandatory release, field supervision, PREP Center path.	Does not replace jail booking records.
BOP	Federal custody from 1982 forward and BOP release status.	Does not prove no state, county, immigration, or supervision status exists.
ICE ODLS	Current immigration detention check.	Not a general old county-jail release archive.

Note: When a release looks inconsistent across systems, check custody type first and then ask each custodian only for the record it controls.

Perry County Release Facilities

Perry County release research can involve local, state, federal, immigration, and reentry systems. The primary local facility is Perry County Jail / James Hood Detention Facility, but the closure reports make out-of-county holding especially important. The Uniontown PREP Center is a supervision and reentry setting, not a normal county jail roster. ADOC, BOP, and ICE each require their own locator or records route.

Perry County Jail / James Hood Detention Facility: local jail release records, receiving-jail questions, and court tie-back.
Out-of-county jail hold for Perry County detainees: release events logged by another jail while the Perry case remains local.
Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles PREP Center: residential reentry and supervision placement in Uniontown.
Former Perry County Correctional Facility site: older private-prison references that must be checked against current authority.
Alabama Department of Corrections institutions: state-prison custody, minimum release date, and ADOC records requests.
Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities: federal inmate locator and federal release status.
ICE detention system: immigration detention checks and detainer-related release limits.
