Tallapoosa County Parole and Probation
Parole and probation both place a released person under rules, but they come from different legal points. Parole usually follows a state prison sentence and a decision by the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles. Probation is usually a court sentence or court-ordered supervision that can follow a jail case, a split sentence, or a suspended sentence. Mandatory supervision is another Alabama route for certain ADOC sentences, with supervision handled by the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles before the final release date.
The first step is to read the release basis. If the person bonded out of the Tallapoosa County Jail, that is not parole. If a Tallapoosa County court placed the person on probation, the court case and supervision office are the key records. If ADOC released the person to parole or mandatory supervision, ABPP is the lead agency. If a person left county jail for ADOC, the county release record is a transfer record, while later parole or end-of-sentence release belongs to state systems.
| Status | Who creates it | Where to verify it |
|---|---|---|
| Parole | Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles | ABPP hearing results, minutes, field office, and public-record request |
| Probation | Sentencing court | Tallapoosa County court record, Alacourt, and supervising office |
| Mandatory supervision | Alabama statute and ADOC release process | ADOC records, ABPP, VNS notice, and court record |
- Parole
- Conditional release from a prison sentence before full sentence expiration, supervised under ABPP rules.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision that may replace or follow jail or prison time, depending on the sentence.
- Discharge
- The end of custody or supervision when the sentence or supervision term is complete.
- Absconder
- A supervised person alleged to have stopped reporting or left supervision control.
Verify Tallapoosa County Post-Release Supervision
A clean supervision check follows the record chain. Start with the jail or ADOC release record, then confirm whether the next status is parole, probation, mandatory supervision, or no supervision. The Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles describes its role as investigation, supervision, and surveillance services for adult offenders. For Tallapoosa County, the Dadeville Field Office is the local ABPP office.
- Get the person's full name, date of birth, case number, and AIS number if there is an ADOC record.
- Check the Tallapoosa County court case through Alacourt Access for a probation order, sentence, revocation, jail credit, or release order.
- Search ABPP scheduled parole hearings if the person is still in ADOC custody and parole timing is the question.
- Review ABPP current-year results, archived results, and hearing minutes for grant, deny, continue, reset date, and special conditions.
- Contact the Dadeville Field Office for local supervision routing when a public record shows Tallapoosa County supervision.
- Use the ABPP public-records request page if a releasable hearing or supervision record is needed in writing.
An ABPP parole grant is a Board result, not automatic proof that the person physically left custody that day.
Tallapoosa County ABPP Office
The Dadeville Field Office is the county-specific supervision contact listed by ABPP. It serves Tallapoosa County from the Tallapoosa County Courthouse. That local address matters because Tallapoosa release research often crosses offices clustered in Dadeville: the Circuit Clerk and courthouse records, the ABPP field office, and Tallapoosa County Community Corrections are all part of the post-release record landscape.
ABPP Dadeville Field Office
Tallapoosa County Courthouse, Room 18
125 North Broadnax Street
Dadeville, AL 36853
Phone: (256) 825-9228
Fax: (256) 825-6234
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
The office should not be treated as a jail roster. It is a supervision contact. Use it when a court record, ADOC record, parole result, or release entry points to parole, probation, mandatory supervision, or local supervision in Tallapoosa County.
The manifest includes a screenshot of the Dadeville Field Office page. The source page at ABPP Dadeville Field Office identifies the office serving Tallapoosa County.
The screenshot supports the local office details, but release or supervision status still has to be matched to the individual record.
Tallapoosa County Parole Results
ABPP hearing pages help answer whether a state prisoner had a parole hearing and how the Board acted. The scheduled hearings page lists upcoming hearings. The current-year results page and the results archive list outcomes. The hearing minutes page can add detail, including special conditions. These pages are useful for a Tallapoosa County person who is or was in ADOC custody, but they do not replace the physical release confirmation from ADOC or the field office.
| ABPP page | Use for release research |
|---|---|
| Scheduled parole hearings | Checks whether a hearing is on the upcoming calendar. |
| Current-year results | Shows recent outcomes such as grant, deny, continue, and reset information. |
| Results archive | Finds older parole result posts. |
| Hearing minutes | May show minutes date and special conditions. |
ABPP's current-year results page explains that a reset date is the first month and year when an individual will be considered for placement on a future docket. It is not the date of a new hearing. That is a common source of confusion when families are trying to read parole pages as release-date pages.
Alabama Supervision Release Law
Several Alabama statutes shape Tallapoosa County parole and probation research. Ala. Code Section 15-22-28 governs parole consideration timing. ABPP's FAQ says eligibility can be affected by sentence, crime, jail credit, ability to earn good time, time served, and court orders. For listed Class A felonies after March 21, 2001, the initial parole consideration date is tied to 85 percent of the total sentence or 15 years, whichever is less. Other categories use different schedules.
Ala. Code Section 15-22-26 states that parole is not merely a reward for good conduct. The Board must make its own judgment under public-safety and fitness standards. Section 15-22-26.2 creates mandatory supervision periods for certain ADOC sentences before the final release date, unless the person is released to probation or parole, with exclusions for child sex offenses.
These statutes explain why a person can have a Minimum Release Date, a Parole Consideration Date, a hearing result, and a supervision status that are all related but not identical. For projected date calculations, use the Release Date Lookup page and the underlying ADOC and court records.
Tallapoosa County Community Corrections
Tallapoosa County has a local Community Corrections entry on ADOC's statewide Community Corrections Program page. The listed director is Kaci Pruitt, with an office at 125 Broadnax Street, Room 3, Dadeville, AL 36853, phone (256) 825-1365, and email kpruitt@tallaco.com. This is not a released-inmate roster and should not be used as a broad person search. It is a local supervision or court-alternative contact when the sentence or order points there.
The Dadeville office cluster can be confusing. The Sheriff's jail is on Industrial Park Drive. The Circuit Clerk and ABPP Dadeville Field Office are at 125 North Broadnax Street in the courthouse. Community Corrections is listed at 125 Broadnax Street, Room 3. When a released person has a probation, community-corrections, or parole question, the case record should identify which office is responsible.
The ADOC Community Corrections page is the source for the Tallapoosa entry. Its captured image is tied to the supervision topic.
Use the listing to route a supervision question only when the court or agency record shows a community-corrections connection.
Tallapoosa County Violation Checks
Conditions and violations are case-specific. Public pages may show hearing outcomes, minutes, warrants, or absconder alerts, but this research did not find a Tallapoosa-specific public absconder list. If a released person is called an absconder, that means supervision control may have been lost and a warrant or alert may exist. It does not mean the person is free from supervision. Check ABPP, the court case, and the office named in the release or supervision record.
VINELink and Alabama VNS can help with custody-status notifications when the person is in a covered feed. The Alabama VNS site is limited to people convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC custody. A county-jail bond release before trial is usually a Sheriff's and court-record matter, not a VNS-only matter. If a notification says custody changed, confirm the official release date and reason with the agency that held custody.
Note: A supervision violation can send a person back to jail or prison, so use current agency records before relying on an older release entry.
Tallapoosa County Supervision Discharge
Supervision ends when the controlling sentence, order, or agency decision says it ends. A probation discharge may be reflected in the Tallapoosa County court case. A parole or mandatory-supervision discharge may require ABPP records or a public-records request. A state prison sentence may end through ADOC release, mandatory supervision, parole, probation, or end of sentence. These statuses can overlap in public records, so read the dates and agencies carefully.
For a complete Tallapoosa County released-inmate record, pair the supervision discharge with the original release record. The Tallapoosa County released inmates hub explains the county release record fields, Sheriff's request path, ADOC current-custody limit, court entries, VINELink, and federal paths. That broader record chain helps distinguish a person released from jail, released from ADOC, discharged from supervision, or transferred to another custody system.
