St. Clair County Jail Roster
The St. Clair County Sheriff's inmate roster is the official free lookup for the county jail. It offers views by name or date and filters for current, released, and archived inmates. The roster is useful for a first custody check, yet it does not certify that every field is complete or error-free. The Sheriff identifies Billy Murray as the county sheriff and operates the one researched county jail in Pell City.
The official roster screen is the source for the county search controls shown below and also displays public booking summaries.
The image shows the correct local channel for county detainees, not people held solely in Alabama state prisons or federal custody.
A booking charge is an accusation recorded at intake. It is not proof of guilt. Court-filed charges, pleas, dismissal, conviction, and sentence belong to the court case. When those later events matter, compare the roster with the St. Clair County criminal court record.
Search St. Clair County Inmates
Use the St. Clair County inmate roster filters before assuming a person is not listed. A release can move a booking from Current to Released, while older entries may appear under Archived Inmates. Name spelling and sorting can also change what is visible.
- Open the official Sheriff's inmate roster and choose Current, Released, or Archived Inmates.
- Enter a name in Search By Name, or use Show All when the exact spelling is uncertain.
- Change the date sort to review newer or older bookings and use page links for more results.
- Compare the name, age, booking number, booking date, charges, and bond shown in the listing.
- Select View Profile when available, then confirm urgent custody facts with the jail at 205-814-3525.
The official roster disclaimer describes the current-inmate and 48-hour release paths and warns that public information cannot be certified for accuracy or authenticity.
That warning makes direct jail confirmation important for release, transfer, court, or bond decisions.
St. Clair County Inmate Search Fields
The county roster does not require a long form. Each public control is optional, and the visible results depend on the selected custody group and sort order.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Options | Filter links | No | Name, Date, Current, Released, or Archived Inmates |
| Sort | Link | No | Newest to oldest or oldest to newest |
| Search By Name | Text | No | Filters the roster by inmate name |
| Search | Button | No | Runs the name search |
| Show All | Button or link | No | Clears a narrow search |
| Pagination | Links | No | Page numbers, Next, and Last |
View Profile links were present during research, but one profile request returned an access error. The listing itself still supplied the verified fields used in the inventory.
What St. Clair County Inmate Results Show
A St. Clair County inmate result can answer basic booking and custody questions. Some details vary by entry, and a blank or zero-dollar bond field should be confirmed rather than interpreted without context.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Displays the booked person's name, commonly in uppercase. |
| Mugshot | Shows a booking image thumbnail when published. |
| Booking number | Identifies the county booking entry. |
| Age | Shows the age reported on the listing. |
| Booking date and time | Shows when the booking was entered. |
| Charges | Lists booking-level allegations when available. |
| Bond | Shows a published amount, including zero-dollar values in some entries. |
| Release date | Appears on a released-inmate listing. |
| Profile link | Opens more public detail when the linked profile responds. |
Charge examples observed in research included probation revocation, public intoxication, here for court, and possession of a controlled substance. Those examples describe the captured listings, not a fixed set of jail charges.
Current, Released, and Archived are separate search views, not legal findings. A current entry means the roster presently places the person in local custody. The release view includes a release date and the roster disclaimer identifies a 48-hour release path. Archived entries help locate older bookings. None of these labels establishes that a charge led to conviction, and a transfer can shift which agency now has custody.
St. Clair County Jail Contact
The Sheriff's Office operates one researched county jail. It houses both pre-sentenced and sentenced people, and its lobby is open around the clock. No official capacity figure was located, so none is stated.
St. Clair County Jail
100 18th Street North
Pell City, AL 35125
205-814-3525
Lobby: open 24/7
Booking fax: 205-814-3676
Administration fax: 205-814-0998
The Sheriff's Corrections page is the official source for the facility address, lobby access, mail, deposits, calls, video service, and bond rules.
Use the detention number for custody and jail-policy questions before traveling to Pell City.
The Sheriff's Office itself has branches apart from the jail. The Pell City office is at 1610 Cogswell Avenue, Suite 206, with office phone 205-884-6840 and dispatch at 205-884-3333. The Ashville branch is at 48 6th Street, Suite 300, with phone 205-594-2140. Use the jail number for detention operations and the sheriff office for a formal records request or agency-level question.
St. Clair County Inmate Record Limits
The official research confirms that the roster shows booking number, time, charges, bond, and some release information. It does not publish a local intake timeline, classification method, first-appearance schedule, or projected release field for every person. Those details should come from the jail or the court handling the case, not from assumptions about a standard booking process.
Booking data can also change after court action. Charges may be amended, dismissed, or replaced in the formal case. A bond can be reviewed by a court. A person may leave local custody through release, transfer, or sentence. The current roster is therefore a point-in-time custody tool rather than the complete criminal history.
St. Clair County Inmate Visitation
The Sheriff's official Corrections page did not publish a visitation schedule, dress code, visitor identification rules, or rules for children. Do not rely on an unofficial schedule. Call the St. Clair County Jail at 205-814-3525 before planning any visit. The page does confirm that video appointments are provided through Inmatesales.com and Combined Public Communications.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| All days | Official schedule not published | Call 205-814-3525; video appointments use Inmatesales.com |
Special arrangements must be presented to and approved by Sheriff Murray and Captain Phillip Barnard. The research did not define which situations qualify.
Contact St. Clair County Inmates
General inmate mail goes to the inmate at 100 18th Street North, Pell City, AL 35125. Legal mail is allowed. Postcards must be 3 by 5 inches, and photos are allowed when the envelope is marked "photos." Jail staff search all mail except legal mail before delivery. A release check from another agency uses a different address: St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, Attn: Tawney Roberts, 1610 Cogswell Avenue, Suite 206, Pell City, AL 35125.
Combined Public Communications provides phone service. Deposits for calls and video appointments use Inmatesales.com. CPC questions go to 1-877-998-5678. The published service hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to midnight Eastern and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 a.m. Eastern, an unusual range that should be confirmed directly with the provider.
Note: Mail rules can change, so confirm size, marking, and delivery requirements with the jail before sending photos, funds, or special items.
St. Clair County Inmate Funds
The jail does not accept cash or money orders for inmate-account deposits. Funds may be placed through the lobby kiosk at the jail or online through JailATM. JailATM also advertises email, video calls, and gift packs. To send money online, sign in, choose Send Money Now, select Alabama and the facility, enter at least three characters of the resident's last name or an ID, enter the amount and payment information, accept the terms, review, and send.
A deposit may first cover inmate debt when the account has a negative balance. Remaining money at release is issued by debit card or check. Policy questions go to Tawney Roberts at 205-814-3508. The official research did not publish deposit limits or vendor fees, so users should review the vendor's current total before authorizing a transaction.
JailATM and Inmatesales serve different tasks. JailATM is the researched route for commissary deposits, resident email, video calls, and gift packs. Inmatesales is the researched CPC route for phone deposits and video appointments. Confirm the resident and facility before sending funds because the public research does not state a local refund policy for a transaction sent to the wrong account.
St. Clair Inmates in ADOC
The St. Clair roster covers county jail custody. The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search covers people currently incarcerated in state prisons. Youthful Offenders are not included in the public ADOC search. A person transferred from the county jail after sentencing may therefore need to be located through ADOC rather than the Sheriff.
The state search complements the local roster; it does not replace the county jail tool for detainees awaiting trial or serving a local sentence.
The official ADOC home page provides the state agency's main custody and public-search entry points.
ADOC can be reached at 301 South Ripley Street, P.O. Box 301501, Montgomery, AL 36130-1501, 1-855-WE-R-ADOC or 334-353-3883.
AIS numbers may have suffixes that affect search interpretation. The ADOC definitions page explains that A, B, or C can mark later incarcerations, while R or S denotes restrictions.
Use the state definition when a matching AIS number includes a suffix rather than treating the letters as a name or facility code.
St. Clair County Inmate Records
The St. Clair County Courthouse and Circuit Clerk Kathryn Burke maintain the later court case, while Sheriff Billy Murray's office remains the source for jail custody and booking records.
For a booking record beyond the public roster, use the Sheriff's official records-request process. The request must describe a specific existing public record in sheriff custody. It must be signed by an Alabama resident and include valid proof of permanent residence. Submit the current form by email to SORecordsRequest@stclairco.com, by mail, or in person to Attn: Tawney Roberts, 1610 Cogswell Avenue, Suite 206, Pell City, AL 35125. Do not send payment until the office quotes a fee.
The Sheriff states that a proper request may take up to 10 days for acknowledgment. Fulfillment or denial follows within 15 business days after acknowledgment. This process is for records, not an instant custody update, and protected information may be withheld.
Property bonds are made at the Sheriff's Office in Ashville or Pell City. Misdemeanor cases may use one signer when one owner appears in the deed or tax record. Felony bonds require two property owners. The defendant cannot use the defendant's own property, and out-of-state property is not accepted. A $35 cash bond-transmittal fee goes to the Circuit Clerk.
Each property owner or signer must appear with property identification. A signer who has a current case with the defendant cannot use that property until the case is disposed. St. Clair-approved property must be in St. Clair County and separate local properties cannot be combined. Out-of-county Alabama property requires approval from that county's sheriff. A bond over $50,000 using out-of-county property also needs approval from a St. Clair captain or higher officer.
The free "St. Clair County Sheriff's Office" app includes the inmate roster as a mobile channel, along with alerts, press releases, and Most Wanted. The same roster is available on the web, so the feature was not confirmed as app-only.
The app may be found under the current agency name, while an earlier release used "St Clair Sheriff AL." Confirm the official agency listing before installation. Website and app access are convenient, but the jail phone remains the best channel for a time-sensitive release or custody check.
