Coffee County Released Inmates
A release from Coffee County custody means the person is no longer in the active custody point that held them. For the Coffee County Jail, the source record is usually a jail booking and release entry, a booking card, a court order, a bond record, or a response from the sheriff or jail records channel. For a state prisoner at the Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center, the release is an Alabama Department of Corrections event. The same county name can point to two different systems.
The first question is not just whether a person left a building. It is where they went next. A jail release can mean bond, recognizance, time served, sentence completion, dismissal, probation, community corrections, transfer to ADOC, transfer to another county, federal pickup, ICE pickup, or another hold. A person released from Coffee County Jail may still be in custody somewhere else. A person released from ADOC may still report to the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles.
- Release
- The custody event that removes a person from the active jail or prison population.
- Discharge
- The end of a sentence or custody term, often used for state correctional records.
- Detainer
- A hold or pickup request from another agency that can follow a local jail release.
- Time served
- A court or jail outcome where prior custody time satisfies the ordered term.
Coffee County Release Paths
Coffee County release records are clearest when the release reason is read with the court case and any hold notes. A bond release and a transfer to ADOC both remove a person from the jail, but they have very different next steps. The jail record answers the custody question first. The court file and supervision sources explain the legal result.
| Release type | What it means | Where to check next |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | The person leaves county custody under a court or bond condition. | Coffee County Jail, Coffee County Circuit Clerk, and Alacourt. |
| Time served or sentence complete | The local jail term or ordered custody period has been satisfied. | Jail release record and court disposition. |
| Probation or community corrections | The person leaves jail into court-ordered supervision or a local program. | Court order, Southeast Alabama Court Services, or ABPP when applicable. |
| Transfer to ADOC | The person leaves Coffee County Jail but enters state custody. | ADOC inmate search while current, then ADOC records. |
| Federal or ICE pickup | The jail release is a handoff to another system. | Jail record, BOP locator, ICE locator, and court records. |
Coffee County Release Record Fields
No direct browser-accessible Coffee County Jail recent-release feed was found in the official sheriff or county pages reviewed for this build. That means the exact public web fields cannot be claimed as a Coffee County online roster format. For a records request, the useful field targets are still clear. They tie the release event back to a booking, a case, and any transfer or supervision path.
| Field to request | What it helps prove |
|---|---|
| Full name and date of birth | Confirms the right person when names are shared or spelled differently. |
| Booking number and booking date | Links the release to the correct jail event. |
| Release date and time | Shows when the person left Coffee County Jail or another facility. |
| Release reason or type | Distinguishes bond, time served, dismissal, transfer, or court order. |
| Charges and court case number | Points to the court file that may explain the disposition. |
| Hold or transfer notation | Shows whether another agency received the person after jail release. |
| Booking photo, if releasable | Supports neutral identity verification when the agency releases the image. |
The court record can explain facts the jail record does not spell out. A bond order, sentencing entry, warrant recall, probation order, or commitment order may show why the release happened. Coffee County court follow-up runs through the Circuit Clerk and Alacourt, not just through the jail.
Obtain Coffee County Release Records
For a Coffee County Jail release, begin with the jail and sheriff contact path. The Coffee County Jail is listed at 1133 E. McKinnon Street, New Brockton, AL 36351, with jail phone (334) 894-6200. The sheriff's office lists the same street address, main phone (334) 894-5535, and administrative hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday. Ask which office handles booking and release records before sending a formal request.
- Gather the full legal name, date of birth, approximate booking date, case number, and booking number if known.
- Ask the jail or sheriff how to request a booking and release record, including any booking photo request.
- Request the release date, release time, release type, charges at booking, bond information, court case number, and transfer or hold notation.
- Check the Coffee County court record through Alacourt's Coffee County docket search for the order or disposition behind the release.
- If the person moved to state custody, use ADOC while the person is current and ADOC records after release.
Coffee County Jail
1133 E. McKinnon Street
New Brockton, AL 36351
Jail: (334) 894-6200
Sheriff: (334) 894-5535
For state correctional records, ADOC Administrative Regulation 023 describes Alabama resident public-record requests, Form 023-A, public.records@doc.alabama.gov, a $20 non-refundable processing fee, and added actual costs where applicable. ADOC Central Records is listed at 1-334-353-9738. Those state fees do not create a Coffee County Jail fee schedule, so county request costs should be confirmed with the local office.
Coffee County Release Record Limits
Alabama public-records law supports inspection and copying of public writings, but release access is not unlimited. Juvenile, youthful-offender, sealed, expunged, victim-identifying, medical, and security-sensitive details can be restricted. ALEA states that Alabama courts grant expungements under Code of Alabama Section 15-27, not ALEA. If a Coffee County record is sealed or expunged, the public trail may be limited even though an agency file once existed.
A missing online result is not proof that no release occurred. Coffee County may have no public web feed for the event, and ADOC says historical inmate data is not available online.
Use Alabama's public-records statute for the broad inspection rule, the sheriff or jail for county custody records, and the court for sealed or expunged case access questions. When the release involved a state sentence, ADOC records and ABPP supervision files may hold the later status.
Find Coffee County Released Inmates
A named-person search should follow the custody path instead of assuming one database covers all Coffee County releases. The sheriff and jail handle local jail custody. ADOC handles state prisoners, including people at the Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center. ABPP handles many parole and probation supervision questions. Courts explain bond, sentence, dismissal, warrant, and jail-credit entries.
- Start with the Coffee County Jail if the person was booked locally or released from the jail.
- Check the Coffee County Sheriff app if its jail-inmate database or public jail information function is active.
- Search the court case in Alacourt for bond, disposition, sentence, warrant, or commitment entries.
- Use ADOC by AIS number or name if the person was transferred to or released from state custody.
- Use ABPP for parole, probation, absconder, revocation, or discharge from supervision.
- Use Alabama VNS and VINELink for eligible state-prison notifications, not for all county-only pretrial releases.
For a same-day feed style check, the Coffee County 24-hour releases page explains the missing public web feed and the sheriff app fallback. For sentence timing, the Coffee County release date lookup page separates ADOC minimum release dates from parole consideration dates.
ADOC Search for Coffee Releases
ADOC's search is useful when the person is in Alabama state custody, but it is not a historical release archive. ADOC states that its public database contains currently incarcerated inmates and that historical data is not available online. A released ADOC inmate may disappear from the public search, so a no-result response must be verified through records, ABPP, VNS, or court files.
The ADOC inmate search gives priority to AIS number. ADOC says the AIS number is the unique six-digit number assigned to a state inmate and is the fastest exact match. Name searches may be used separately or together, and beginning-part name searches are allowed. Results are capped at 50 records.
| Search field | Use it when | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| AIS number | The state inmate number is known. | It takes precedence over name fields. |
| First name | Only partial identity data is available. | Pair with last name when common. |
| Last name | Testing spelling or partial starts. | Search may return many names and hit the 50-record cap. |
The ADOC definitions page explains Minimum Release Date, Parole Consideration Date, Jail Credit, Good Time Received, and sentence type. Those fields matter for Coffee County defendants who spent time in jail before transfer to ADOC.
The ADOC search page is the state source for current Alabama prison custody, including state inmates tied to Coffee County sentences.
Coffee County Recent Releases
No official direct Coffee County 24-hour or 72-hour released-inmates web feed was found in the public sheriff and county pages reviewed. The official sheriff site is lean and points users toward the Coffee County Sheriff app. The Google Play listing identifies the Coffee County Sheriff (AL) app by OCV, and official social snippets describe jail inmate database and sex-offender registry functions.
This makes the app a local access channel, not proof of a separate public browser feed. Check the sheriff app if it is available on the user's device, then call the jail or sheriff records route if a release has to be confirmed. If the release happened because of bond, dismissal, plea, sentence, probation, or warrant action, the court record may be the more durable source.
The Coffee County Sheriff app listing is the clearest documented digital route for sheriff information beyond the official website.
Coffee County Community Corrections
Southeast Alabama Court Services is a distinctive Coffee County release path. ADOC lists the program as serving Barbour, Bullock, Coffee, Dale, and Pike counties, with an Ozark address and phone (334) 774-9135. This is not a jail roster. It matters because a Coffee County defendant may leave jail into a court-ordered community-corrections program or serve part of a sentence under local supervision.
A community-corrections placement can explain why a person no longer appears in the jail but also does not show as an ADOC prison release. Confirm the court order, then contact the program if the order points there. If state custody is part of the sentence, ADOC records may also be needed.
Coffee County Post-Release Supervision
Parole and probation are not the same as jail custody. Parole usually follows a prison sentence and release under state supervision. Probation is a court sentence served in the community, often with conditions. For Coffee County, the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles Enterprise Field Office is the local ABPP office, listed at 1135 East McKinnon Street in New Brockton and serving Coffee County.
The East McKinnon Street cluster is useful for post-release navigation. The jail and sheriff are listed at 1133 E. McKinnon Street. ABPP is next door at 1135 East McKinnon Street. ALEA's Coffee County driver-license office is listed nearby at 1015 E. McKinnon Street. These are separate agencies, but release verification, supervision reporting, and state ID replacement can all involve that New Brockton area. Detailed supervision checks belong on the Coffee County post-release supervision page.
Coffee County Court Follow-Up
Coffee County court records can outlast a jail roster entry. The Circuit Clerk is the official record keeper for District and Circuit Court proceedings, and the clerk page says most trial-court information can be obtained through Alacourt or Just One Look with required fees. The Enterprise office is listed at 101 S. Edwards Street with phone (334) 347-2519, and the Elba office phone is (334) 897-2954.
Use the court path for disposition, bond orders, sentence entries, jail credit, warrant recalls, probation orders, commitments, and expungement filings. Jail staff can confirm custody and release, but the court file often explains why release happened. If ADOC jail credit appears wrong, ADOC says questions related to jail credit should go to the sentencing county's circuit clerk.
Coffee County Release Notifications
Alabama has VINELink and a separate Alabama Victim Notification System. VINELink Alabama lists Alabama VINE phone 1-877-846-3425. Alabama VNS at victims.alabama.gov allows registered users to choose notification methods, but the VNS page says it is only for offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC custody. For cases that have not gone to trial, VNS points users to the sheriff in the county where the crime occurred.
Federal and immigration records are separate. The BOP locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present and can show RELEASED or a past release date. ICE ODLS is a current-detention oriented locator. If the Coffee County Jail release record shows a federal hold, U.S. Marshals pickup, or ICE detainer, verify the handoff through the jail record and the federal or ICE source that fits.
Coffee Released vs Custody Lookup
The best lookup depends on whether the person is still in custody, has been released from county jail, is in state custody, or moved into federal or immigration custody. Do not treat a current-custody roster as the proof source for a past release.
| Status question | First source | What it can show |
|---|---|---|
| Still in Coffee County Jail | Jail or sheriff app if active | Current custody or jail information. |
| Released from Coffee County Jail | Jail release record and court file | Release date, reason, bond, transfer, or court order. |
| Current ADOC inmate | ADOC inmate search | State facility, AIS record, and release-date vocabulary. |
| Released from ADOC | ADOC records, ABPP, VNS, and court | Discharge, supervision, or notification path. |
| Federal or ICE custody | BOP, ICE, and jail transfer notation | Federal release date, current detention, or agency handoff. |
Q: Does a missing jail roster result mean the person is free? A: No. A released person may have left the jail roster because of bond, transfer, ADOC commitment, ICE pickup, another hold, or data lag. Confirm with the release record.
Coffee County Release Facilities
Coffee County has one primary county jail release path and several release-adjacent or state custody sources. The local names should not be merged. A Coffee County Jail release is confirmed through sheriff, jail, court, and records routes. An Elba Community Based Facility release is an ADOC release. Southeast Alabama Court Services and ABPP are supervision or program sources, not jail rosters.
| Facility or office | Role in release verification |
|---|---|
| Coffee County Jail | Primary local jail release record and custody confirmation. |
| Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center | ADOC state-custody release, minimum custody, and state records path. |
| Southeast Alabama Court Services / Community Corrections Program | Community corrections path serving Coffee County court placements. |
| Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles Enterprise Field Office | Local parole and probation supervision office serving Coffee County. |
Note: A release from the Elba ADOC facility is not a Coffee County Jail release, even though the facility is physically in Coffee County.
