Tallapoosa County Released Inmates

A Tallapoosa County jail release means the Sheriff's jail no longer holds the person under that booking. It does not always mean the person went home. The Tallapoosa County Sheriff's Department says the jail serves pretrial felony defendants, convicted felons, and misdemeanor defendants. When that custody ends, the next record may be a bond entry, a court order, a sentence-completion note, a transfer to the Alabama Department of Corrections, a hold for another agency, or a supervision record with the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles.

The key Tallapoosa County release question is therefore simple: released from which custody, and to where? A person released from the Tallapoosa County Jail is usually checked through the Sheriff's jail or records channel and the Tallapoosa County court case. A person leaving Alex City Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center is on an ADOC state-custody path. A person with a federal sentence belongs in the Bureau of Prisons locator. A qualifying released sex offender may later appear in ALEA or local OffenderWatch records, but that registry is not a general jail release list.

Tallapoosa County Release Types

Release wording matters. A Tallapoosa County Jail record may show that a person bonded out, completed time served, was released by court order, was dismissed or acquitted in the court record, moved to probation, or left the jail for another agency. Each term points to a different confirmation path. The jail can confirm the physical exit from county custody, while the court record often explains the legal reason for that exit.

Note: A transfer is not the same as a community release, even if the person left the Tallapoosa County Jail building.

Tallapoosa County Jail Activity

The Sheriff's page gives useful local scale without publishing a released-inmate feed. Its 2024 Jail Division overview listed 1,727 yearly bookings, an average daily population of 131, average monthly booking of 144, video conferencing of 319, and a 2024-2025 jail budget of $1,969,591.00. Those figures show steady jail movement, but they are not release totals and should not be treated as a count of people who got out.

The release lesson is narrow but important. A county with measured jail activity can still have no public recent-release page. For Tallapoosa County released inmates, the official workflow relies on the Sheriff's contact route, the court record, and state or federal systems when the custody path leaves the county jail.

Tallapoosa County Release Record Fields

A release record is the proof that a specific custody event ended. The Sheriff's website does not publish a visible release-record template, so a focused request should name the person and the booking as clearly as possible. Ask for the booking and release record rather than a broad inmate search. If the jail exit was tied to a court event, pair the jail record with the case-action summary from Alacourt Access.

Request Tallapoosa County Release Records

For a Tallapoosa County Jail release, start with the Sheriff contact page. The official route lists the Sheriff's Department at 316 Industrial Park Drive, Dadeville, AL 36853, main phone (256) 825-4264, fax (256) 825-1012, and the general sheriff email. The research did not find a separate county jail records request form or fee schedule, so call first and ask how the office wants a written public-records request submitted.

1. Confirm the person was booked into the Tallapoosa County Jail and gather full name, date of birth, booking date, and case number if known.
2. Ask the Sheriff's jail or records channel whether the person is still in custody, released, transferred, bonded, or held for another agency.
3. Request the booking and release record, including release date, release reason, bond or court-order reference, and transfer destination if any.
4. Check the Tallapoosa County court case if the jail release was tied to bond, sentence, dismissal, probation, revocation, or jail credit.
5. Use ADOC, ABPP, BOP, or ICE only when the county record shows a transfer or when the case type points to that system.

For ADOC release or discharge records, use ADOC Form 023-A and the public-records process described by ADOC Administrative Regulation 023. The captured form lists a non-refundable $20 processing fee. For ABPP records, the public-records request page accepts forms through public.records@paroles.alabama.gov.

Tallapoosa County Release Record Law

Alabama public-records law is the background rule for release-record requests. Title 36, Chapter 12, Article 3 includes the right to inspect and copy public writings, subject to exceptions, and newer procedures for public-records requests. A jail release record can still be limited by juvenile status, youthful-offender treatment, sealed records, expungement, medical or protected personal information, and active investigation concerns.

Alabama Title 15, Chapter 27 governs expungement. Expungement can restrict public access to qualifying court and agency records, but it is a court process with statutory steps, service, objections, hearings, and exceptions. If a Tallapoosa County case was dismissed, sealed, or expunged, the court and the agency that created the record are the correct places to verify what remains public.

Find Released Tallapoosa County Inmates

A strong Tallapoosa County released inmate search starts with custody type, not a generic name search. First decide whether the person was in the county jail, an ADOC state facility, a municipal police process, federal custody, or a qualifying registry category. That single choice prevents most false leads. The county jail and the Alex City Community-Based Facility are both in Tallapoosa County, but they use different release systems.

1. For county-jail custody, call the Sheriff's Department and ask for release confirmation by name, date of birth, and booking date.
2. Check the Tallapoosa County Circuit Clerk and Alacourt Access for the bond, disposition, sentence, jail-credit, or release order.
3. Use ADOC's inmate search only for current state custody, then use ADOC records, ABPP, VNS, or court records after release.
4. Check ABPP hearing and supervision records if the person may be on parole, probation, or mandatory supervision.
5. Use VINELink or Alabama VNS for notification support when the person appears in a covered custody feed.
6. Use BOP for sentenced federal inmates and ICE tools only for immigration custody questions.

A same-day feed is a different question from a named-person search. Tallapoosa County did not have an official 24-hour or 72-hour release page in the research sweep, so the 24-Hour Releases page focuses on the records fallback rather than a fabricated list.

Tallapoosa County ADOC Release Limits

The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search is essential for current state custody, but Alabama's own page says the database only contains currently incarcerated inmates and that historical data is not available online. That makes Alabama different from states where a DOC locator keeps a public released or discharged status. For Tallapoosa County released inmates who have already left ADOC, online confirmation often shifts to ADOC public-record requests, ABPP supervision or hearing records, Alabama VNS, the court case, or the registry if the person qualifies.

Tallapoosa County Court Release Trail

The court record often outlasts the jail roster. The Circuit Clerk site says most trial-court information may be obtained through Alacourt using Just One Look, and Alacourt Access lists criminal records, name searches, case-number searches, and case detail with a detailed case-action summary. Research captured a $9.99 name search, a $9.99 case-number search, and document-image pricing of $5.00 for the first 20 pages plus $0.50 per page after that.

For released-inmate work, court entries can explain bond, dismissal, nolle prosequi, acquittal, sentence to time served, suspended sentence, probation, revocation, jail credit, commitment to ADOC, warrant recall, or an order of release. If the Sheriff's office confirms that a person left jail by court order, the court case may be the better record for why release occurred. If the jail says the person transferred to ADOC, the court sentence and jail-credit entries can also affect later state release-date calculations.

Note: Search by case number when possible because common names can produce unrelated cases in statewide court systems.

Tallapoosa County Supervision Contacts

Post-release supervision is not one record. The ABPP Dadeville Field Office serves Tallapoosa County from the Tallapoosa County Courthouse, Room 18, 125 North Broadnax Street, Dadeville, AL 36853, with phone (256) 825-9228. ABPP records can help verify parole, probation, mandatory supervision, hearing outcomes, and some public supervision records. A parole grant is still not the same as the exact time a person walked out of custody.

Tallapoosa County also appears on ADOC's Community Corrections Program page with Kaci Pruitt as director, 125 Broadnax Street, Room 3, Dadeville, AL 36853, phone (256) 825-1365. That local entry is a supervision or program contact, not a released-inmate database. Use it when a court sentence, local supervision order, or community-corrections route points there. Broader parole and probation verification is handled on the Post-Release Supervision page.

Tallapoosa County Release Notifications

VINELink Alabama and the Alabama Victim Notification System are notification and custody-status tools, not the same as a county release record. Alabama VNS says it is for offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC custody. It also says that for a case not yet tried, contact the Sheriff in the county where the crime occurred. That boundary matters in Tallapoosa County because many local jail releases are pretrial, bond, misdemeanor, municipal, or court-order events rather than ADOC prison releases.

Federal release records use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. BOP says it covers federal inmates from 1982 to present and may show a release date and location. Its about-records page explains that when the release date is in the past and no facility location appears, release occurred on that date and the person is no longer in BOP custody. Federal pretrial and U.S. Marshals custody can be different, so a county release entry showing a federal hold should be read as a possible transfer unless federal records say otherwise.

Tallapoosa County Custody Lookup

A live custody roster, a release record, a state prison locator, and a federal locator answer different questions. Tallapoosa County did not publish a visible official public jail roster or recent-release filter in the research sweep. That absence makes the distinction more important, not less. The correct record depends on whether the person is still held, has been released from county jail, was transferred to state prison, or has a federal custody history.

Tallapoosa County Detention Facilities

Tallapoosa County has one primary county jail, one ADOC community work center, and municipal police agencies that can start or route a local case. The most common mistake is treating every local facility as a county-jail release source. The Alex City Community-Based Facility is a state ADOC facility, while Alexander City Police and Tallassee Police are municipal law-enforcement contacts, not county jail roster publishers.

• Tallapoosa County Jail handles county detention and local release confirmations through the Sheriff and court records.
• Alex City Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center is an ADOC state facility with ADOC, ABPP, VNS, and court release paths.
• Alexander City Police Department may be the arresting or municipal contact, but county-jail release confirmation belongs with the Sheriff if the person was booked there.
• Tallassee Police Department requires extra county checking because Tallassee crosses county boundaries.
