Clarke County Released Inmates is a private reference site. We are not the sheriff's office, jail, court, ADOC, ABPP, or any government records office. We cannot confirm custody or release, pull official booking records, post bond, give legal advice, or change a government record.
Where to Look for a Clarke County Record
Use the office that matches the record you need. A jail release, a court disposition, an ADOC discharge, and a parole or probation status can sit in different systems.

Use the Right Page First
These pages explain the common route before you call an office or submit a records request.
- For a released person or a release record, start with the home page, which covers the full search path and records-request steps.
- For supervision after release, use Post-Release Supervision and then contact ABPP if the case is under Alabama parole or probation.
- For recent local releases, check 24-Hour Releases and 72-Hour Releases.
- For a release date or alert, compare Release Date Lookup with VINE Inmate Check.
- For booking photos tied to release records, use Mugshots of Released Inmates and verify any official copy with the originating agency.
- For an Alabama state prisoner, use ADOC rather than the Clarke County Jail. ADOC records have resident and policy limits and may require a written public-records request.
- For an expunged record question, review Alabama's CR-65 expungement process under Ala. Code 15-27-1 et seq. and consider speaking with a lawyer.
