Find Perry County Hold Releases

To find someone released from an out-of-county jail hold for Perry County detainees, separate the Perry County case from the jail that physically held the person. During closure or overflow, a detainee can remain a Perry County case while being kept in another Alabama county. A Perry County detainee release lookup should therefore confirm the originating case, the receiving jail, the release date, and whether release meant a return to the community or a transfer to another authority.

Perry County Hold Release Route

Research for Perry County identified out-of-county jail placement as a local workflow rather than a normal permanent facility. Reports named Cullman and Wilcox counties and also referred to other Alabama locations. When that happens, the receiving jail may record the physical release, property pickup, and final custody timestamp. Perry County still remains important because the warrant, arrest, bond order, court date, and release authority may come from the Perry County case.

This distinction prevents a common mistake. A person may not be in the Perry County Jail building and still may not be released. The person could be housed under a Perry County hold in another county jail, moved for court, transferred to ADOC, or picked up on a separate hold. Ask for the exact release reason and next agency, not just whether the person left one jail.

Confirm Out-of-county Release

Start with Perry County because it can identify the originating case and the holding arrangement. Then move to the receiving jail for the physical release entry. This is the reverse of a normal jail search, where the building and the case are often in the same county.

  1. Call the Perry County Sheriff's Office at the official number and ask whether the person was housed outside Perry County.
  2. Ask for the receiving county or facility name, custody dates, booking number, and any transport or hold notation.
  3. Contact the receiving jail for the release date, release time, property instructions, and whether the person left to another agency.
  4. Check the Perry County Circuit Clerk or Alacourt ACCESS for bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, or warrant-recall events.
  5. If a transfer appears, switch to ADOC, ABPP, BOP, ICE, USMS, or the next county jail as the record source.

The Perry County released last 24 hours route cannot rely on an official local feed because no verified Perry County Alabama feed was found. The out-of-county path is a records-contact workflow.

Out-of-county Hold Contacts

There is no single permanent address for this Facility Map entry. It represents receiving county jails used for Perry County detainees during closure or overflow. Perry County should identify the receiving jail first. The receiving jail should then be asked for the physical release record.

Perry County Sheriff's Office

P.O. Box 157
Marion, AL 36756
Phone: (334) 683-6534

Ask for: receiving jail name, custody dates, release reason, booking number, transport notation, and case reference.

When contacting the receiving jail, give the Perry County case number if known. Also give the approximate custody date. County names alone can be misleading because several states have a Perry County, and some search results point to the wrong jurisdiction.

Closure-era Perry County Releases

Research Section 19's facility angle is central here. The jail closure after the 2025 escape changed release confirmation. WSFA reported in January 2026 that Perry County detainees had been housed in Wilcox County, Cullman County, and other locations. WAKA reported that inmates were placed in Cullman and Wilcox county jails. ABC 33/40 reported a group of male inmates taken to Cullman County.

For a family member or records requester, that means the release point may be outside Perry County while the court case remains in Perry County. If the receiving jail released the person, that jail may have the timestamp and property release details. Perry County may still have the case context, arrest record, warrant status, and court-triggered release paperwork.

Ask both agencies to distinguish transport from release. Transport is movement between facilities. Release is the event that ends that particular custody hold. A detainee may be transported from Perry County to a receiving jail, then later released by the receiving jail because of bond, court order, sentence completion, or another agency pickup. The Perry County court file may show the legal trigger, while the receiving jail may show the actual time the custody hold ended.

When the receiving jail is identified, ask whether it has its own public roster or release report. Some counties publish more data than Perry County, while others require a direct records request. If the receiving jail publishes a current roster only, remember that a released person may have dropped off that list. The useful record is the booking or release entry tied to the custody dates.

Also ask whether property, medication, or paperwork was handled by the receiving jail or returned through Perry County. Those details are not always public record fields, but they often reveal which agency processed the final release. For record purposes, the goal is to identify the custodian that can confirm the release date and the agency that can explain the court order or hold.

Note: A Perry County jail release record can show a transfer, not a final community release.
