Find Randolph County Inmates

Randolph County Inmate Roster

The official Randolph County Sheriff's Office roster is the direct free source for people shown in county custody. Its list includes a photo, last name, first name, middle name, age, sex, booking date, race, height, and weight. Each public row links to a detail profile. During research on July 14, 2026, the roster displayed a same-day update timestamp, but that observation is not a promise of real-time status. Booking, release, transfer, and data review can occur between updates.

The roster belongs to the Randolph County Detention Center. It does not serve as an arrest-history database, a court disposition search, or a statewide prison list. Someone released from local jail may disappear from the current roster even though a court case remains. A person sentenced to state prison should be checked through the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search. Federal custody uses federal systems. No official Randolph County, Alabama sheriff mobile app was found, so there is no app-only inmate tool to add to the web roster.

Search Randolph County Inmates

The roster uses a searchable and sortable table. A broad search may match any visible text, so start with a full or partial name and compare age and physical details before opening a profile. Similar names require care. A roster entry shows custody status at the time displayed, not guilt or a final court outcome.

1. Open the Randolph County inmate roster and review its update line before relying on the list.
2. Use the table search box to enter a last name, first name, or other visible detail. Shorten the term if spelling is uncertain.
3. Sort or compare the name, age, sex, booking date, race, height, and weight columns to identify the correct person.
4. Select the row to open the profile. Review the charge, bond, and hold fields, then contact detention staff if current custody needs confirmation.

A hold can indicate that another agency has asked Randolph County to keep the person in custody. It is not the same as the local charge. Bond text also needs context. “No bond” on a profile may reflect the listed matter or hold at that moment, while later court action can change the result.

Randolph Inmate Search Fields

The portal has one optional DataTables filter rather than separate required name boxes. Its result columns provide the clues used to narrow a Randolph County inmate search. A booking number field was not visible in the inspected roster, so it should not be presented as an available search input.

Randolph County Inmate Profiles

An official sample profile inspected during research showed a limited but useful set of fields. It did not display a booking number, arresting agency apart from hold text, court date, warrant number, housing pod, release date, or medical and security flags. Do not infer those values from a blank space. The charge is an accusation, not a conviction, and the bond field is not a sentence.

For the later case status, plea, dismissal, conviction, or sentence, use the Randolph County court file. The criminal court records provide a different record from the current jail profile.

Randolph County Detention Center

Randolph County operates one documented local jail facility. The Detention Center is staffed around the clock, while its administrative office keeps weekday business hours except authorized state and federal holidays. The facility houses male and female detainees at minimum and maximum security levels. It has 110 beds and was designed for expansion to 156 without major construction.

The official Detention Center information source publishes current contact, property, commissary, phone, and visitation guidance.

Its current HTML rules should be preferred when the older official jail information sheet uses different intake or deposit instructions.

Sheriff David Cofield leads the Randolph County Sheriff's Office. The county lists Chief Deputy Donnie Grant, Major Donnie Strain, Jail Administrator Neil Fetner, Secretary Casey Adamson, Clerk David Brooks, and Courthouse Security Eathan Walker. The sheriff line is 256-357-4545, and the county sheriff hotline is 1-877-247-4099. Jail staff can confirm local custody and explain facility policy, but they do not decide guilt, alter court bonds, or interpret a pending case.

Circuit Clerk Chris May keeps the related Randolph County Circuit and District Court records at the Randolph County Courthouse. Contact the clerk when the question concerns a case number, hearing date, court action, or copy of a public judicial record. A current roster entry and a court file may contain different information because they serve different purposes and update through different offices.

Randolph County Booking Records

After a new local arrest, staff take the person to the Randolph County Detention Center, complete intake, take a photograph, and place public information on the roster if the person remains in custody and the entry is eligible for display. A warrant arrest can follow a magistrate's probable-cause decision and service by the sheriff or police. The next steps can include an initial appearance, a bond decision, and creation or update of the court case.

A roster charge may be broad, abbreviated, or tied to another agency's hold. It does not show the full charging document or all later amendments. A prosecutor may file, reduce, change, dismiss, or decline a charge, and the court records the outcome. For present custody, call jail administration. For a bond order or case setting, contact the Circuit Clerk. For an unserved warrant, the local rule is different: the warrant is not public until service.

County jail also differs from state prison. Randolph County generally holds people awaiting local proceedings, serving qualifying local sentences, or waiting on transfer. After a state sentence and transfer to the Alabama Department of Corrections, the county roster may no longer be the right locator. An outside-agency hold can delay release even when a local bond is set. Ask detention staff which agency placed the public hold, then contact that agency for its own process.

Note: Randolph County inmate entries describe custody and allegations at a point in time, while the court file tracks later legal action.

Randolph County Inmate Visits

The official jail information sheet lists daily visitation windows. Each inmate receives one 30-minute visit per week. No more than two visitors may attend at once, plus the inmate's legal children under 18. A visitor must be on the approved list and show valid United States government-issued identification. A minor may visit only if the minor is the inmate's legal child. Visitors sign in for the first available slot, must follow the dress code, and may face cancellation without notice when security needs require it. The current contact page says online visitation is available and in-person visits use the internal kiosk.

Short shorts or skirts, revealing shirts, coats, and headwear are barred by the published dress rule. Confirm the schedule before travel because detention security can suspend visits.

Mail Randolph County Inmates

Address correspondence to Randolph County Detention Center, Attn: Detainee's Full Legal Name, P.O. Box 347, Wedowee, AL 36278. Incoming mail is inspected under jail policy and law. The center does not accept drop-shipped property or food, property sent from online retailers or third-party vendors, or personal property intended to follow a detainee to the Alabama Department of Corrections. Paperback books are the stated delivery exception.

Telephone service uses Combined Public Communications. The official CPC service source supports the jail phone account process.

Deposits may be made through the lobby kiosk, CPC's website, or customer service at (877) 998-5678; CPC handles balance and billing questions.

An older official jail sheet also referenced GettingOut communication and deposit services.

Because the current contact page names CPC and Inmate Canteen, confirm any older GettingOut option directly with detention staff before paying.

Randolph Inmate Funds

Current Randolph County commissary service is provided by Kimbells Food By Design, with online deposits through Inmate Canteen.

Orders must be placed by Monday at 6:00 p.m. to guarantee Wednesday delivery. The research did not document a Randolph County deposit fee or limit, so confirm the amount shown in the vendor workflow before paying.

Released detainees have seven days to collect eligible items before disposal under jail policy. Personal clothing accepted during the first seven days of confinement must be new, unworn, white, and sealed in original packaging. Male detainees may receive three pairs each of socks, underwear, and pocket-free T-shirts. Female detainees may also receive three white bras without underwire. Opened, worn, altered, or noncompliant items are refused.

The older jail information sheet named a lobby kiosk, a telephone deposit line, GettingOut, and a care-pack site. The current detention page instead names Kimbells, Inmate Canteen, and CPC. Use the current provider list first and call the jail before sending funds through an older service. Deposits and phone credits are vendor transactions, not bond payments, court fines, or restitution. Keep the receipt and verify the inmate identity before completing a payment.

Randolph County Jail History

The official Randolph County jail history traces local custody from the county's earliest improvised jail arrangements through several buildings and the current Probilt Drive facility.

The present 27,181-square-foot jail opened for prisoners in February 2021 after voters approved a half-cent sales tax in 2016. It cost about $11.7 million and uses central control with cameras throughout the facility.

That capacity planning followed decades of crowding and building problems. A 1937 jail closed under a state fire marshal order in 1980. A 1985 replacement later held far more inmates than planned and experienced serious crowding. The current facility's 110-bed design and planned growth to 156 beds reflect that local history. These facts explain the building, but the roster remains the source for current Randolph County inmates.
