The Conecuh County Inmate Population
The Conecuh County inmate population is held at one local facility, the Conecuh County Jail in Evergreen. The Conecuh County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and is the county office in charge of custody after arrest. The people counted are mostly pre-trial detainees who have not yet gone to trial. A smaller share serve short local sentences, and a few wait to be moved into Alabama Department of Corrections custody after a felony conviction. Municipal police arrests in towns like Repton or Castleberry can also land a person in county custody after transport.
The count rises and falls for plain reasons. New arrests push it up. Bond decisions, dismissals, and transfers to state prison pull it down. Because Conecuh County is small and rural, the daily number stays low compared with big metro jails. The county did not publish a current daily headcount in the sources reviewed, so the figures below come from a high-authority dataset and carry the year they were measured.
Conecuh County Inmate Population Statistics
The clearest sourced numbers come from the Vera Institute county incarceration dataset, which tracks jail population and rated capacity by county. For 2019 it reports an average total jail population of 64 against a rated capacity of 134 beds. That dataset is historical, not a live roster, so it shows the scale of the Conecuh County inmate population rather than today's exact count.
The table below lists the figures that the research could source, each tied to its dataset and year. Where the county does not publish a metric, that row is left out rather than guessed.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Average total jail population | 64 | Vera Institute, 2019 |
| Rated / bed capacity | 134 | Vera Institute, 2019 |
| Male jail population | 51 | Vera Institute, 2019 |
| Female jail population | 4 | Vera Institute, 2019 |
| Pre-trial custody (avg.) | 53 | Vera Institute, 2019 |
| Sentenced custody (avg.) | 11 | Vera Institute, 2019 |
Conecuh County Inmate Population Trends
Over the five years the dataset covers, the Conecuh County inmate population moved within a fairly narrow band. The low point was 41 in 2015, and the high point was 64 in 2019. The rated capacity in the same source actually dropped over time, from about 185 beds in 2015 down to 134 in 2019, which the dataset records as an estimate rather than a fresh inspection. The population never reached that capacity in any year shown.
| Year | Average Daily Population | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 41 | Rated capacity estimated near 185 beds. |
| 2016 | 48 | Rated capacity estimated near 172 beds. |
| 2017 | 59 | Rated capacity estimated near 159 beds. |
| 2018 | 54 | Rated capacity estimated near 147 beds. |
| 2019 | 64 | Most recent Vera year; 134 rated beds. |
Note: These are dataset averages through 2019, not a live count, so confirm any current number with the sheriff's office before relying on it.
Who Makes Up the Conecuh County Inmate Population
The dataset gives a basic breakdown for 2019. Most people held were waiting on a case rather than serving a sentence, and the jail held far more men than women. Some demographic cells in the source were blank or rounded, so only the figures the data reports are listed here.
- Pre-trial vs sentenced - 53 in pre-trial custody and 11 in sentenced custody on average in 2019 (Vera Institute).
- Male vs female - 51 male and 4 female jail inmates on average in 2019 (Vera Institute).
- State holds - sentenced inmates wait in county custody until transfer into Alabama Department of Corrections.
- Federal holds - the sheriff audit notes a federal inmate account that went inactive after final reimbursement checks in September 2022.
Conecuh County Jail Capacity and Overcrowding
The numbers do not point to overcrowding. In 2019 the jail averaged 64 people against 134 rated beds, which leaves real headroom. In every earlier year shown, the average population also stayed under the rated capacity. The county did not post a current capacity figure online, so the 134 figure should be read as the last sourced dataset number rather than a confirmed bed count for today.
No consent decree, court order, or jail-construction project tied to overcrowding turned up in the official sources reviewed. The strongest recent official record is the state sheriff audit, which is financial and operational rather than a conditions report. If a current crowding or capacity issue arises, the sheriff's office is the office to ask.
Laws Governing the Conecuh County Inmate Population
A short set of Alabama laws shapes who holds the inmate population, what records the public can see, and how those records are limited. The sheriff's legal charge over the jail, the state open-records right, and rules on expungement and criminal-history sharing all matter when you try to confirm custody or pull a booking record.
Key Statutes:
Alabama Code § 14-6-1 - The sheriff has legal custody and charge of the county jail and its prisoners, which makes the sheriff's office the first custodian of jail records.
Alabama Code § 36-12-40 - Alabama citizens have a general right to inspect and copy public writings, subject to legal exceptions, which supports public access to jail and booking data.
Alabama Code § 15-27-9 - Expungement orders restrict or remove covered arrest and case records, which affects whether an old booking or photo stays public.
Alabama Code § 41-9-625 - Criminal-history record sharing is controlled by state law and agency rules, so a full criminal history is not the same as a jail roster.
Alabama Code § 12-15-133 - Juvenile court and juvenile law-enforcement records are confidential or restricted in many situations.
Note: Open-records access can still meet redactions for juvenile, medical, active-investigation, or privacy reasons, so a request may return less than a full file.
Conecuh County and the State Prison Population
When a person from Conecuh County is convicted of a felony and sentenced to state time, they leave the county inmate population and join the state prison count. From that point the search tool changes. The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search covers sentenced state prisoners, while the county jail roster does not. No ADOC state prison sits inside Conecuh County, so a sentenced person is held elsewhere in the state system.
The Vera dataset also estimates a prison population tied to Conecuh County of origin, listing about 41 people in 2019. That figure reflects where people came from, not a prison located in the county. Note that the ADOC search and its population totals leave out inmates sentenced under the Youthful Offender Act.
How to Search the Conecuh County Inmate Population
Conecuh County does not publish a confirmed online jail roster in the official sources reviewed. So the search runs through direct contact and records channels rather than a public web roster. The fastest first step is the jail phone line, backed by an in-person visit or a written records request, plus the correct state or federal locator when the person has left county custody.
Before you start, gather the person's full legal name, date of birth or age, the approximate arrest date, the arresting agency, and any known charge or case number. These details cut down on delays.
- Call the Conecuh County Jail at 251-578-1260 and ask whether the person is currently housed there.
- Give the staff the identifying details so they can match the right person.
- Ask the current status: still in intake, in general housing, released on bond, transferred to another county, moved to ADOC, or held for another agency.
- If you need a document rather than live status, ask how to file a public-records request for the booking sheet, charges, bond, or booking photo.
- If the person has been sentenced to state prison, search the ADOC inmate locator instead of the county jail.
- For release or transfer alerts, register the person on VINELink Alabama where they appear.
Current Inmate Lookup in Conecuh County
For a current Conecuh County inmate, the live channel is the jail itself, not a web search. Staff can confirm whether a person is in custody, whether bond is set, and whether a court date is known. Because no county roster form was located, the search-field table below shows the statewide ADOC inmate search, the locator that does have a confirmed public form for sentenced inmates who came through county custody.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AIS | Text | No | Alabama Institutional Serial number; max length 8; best exact match. |
| First Name | Text | No | Optional name search field. |
| Last Name | Text | No | Optional name search field. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs the ADOC search; Youthful Offender Act inmates are excluded. |
The fields above mirror the ADOC statewide inmate search, the locator with a confirmed public form for sentenced inmates who passed through Conecuh County custody.
Use this statewide form once a Conecuh County inmate has been sentenced and moved out of the local jail into the state prison population.
Past and Released Inmate Records
Finding someone who is no longer in custody works much the same way. With no online roster, there is no public archive of past bookings to scroll through. The route is a public-records request to the sheriff's office for the historical booking record, charge list, bond sheet, arrest report, or booking photo, where the record is releasable. The jail inmate records page walks through this fallback chain in more detail.
Keep the custody split in mind. The county source covers people who passed through the local jail, while a person sentenced to state time moves to the ADOC locator. For formal criminal-history reports, the ALEA criminal records process is separate from any jail record. Court filings after an arrest live in the state court system through Alacourt or the county clerk.
What a Conecuh County Inmate Record Shows
Because no public online profile could be inspected, the fields below describe what a booking record can contain when you request it from the sheriff. Not every field is releasable, and some may be redacted. Ask for these items by name so the request is clear.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Number | The local jail ID assigned at intake, if one was issued. |
| Booking Date | The date and time the person was booked into the jail. |
| Charges | The offenses listed at booking by the arresting agency. |
| Bond Amount | The bond amount and type, if bond has been set. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency that brought the person to the jail. |
| Custody Status | In custody, bonded out, released, transferred, or held for another agency. |
A few terms help when reading any record. Booking is the jail intake event after arrest. Intake is the step where the jail records identity, property, and a photo. A charge is the alleged offense, which is not the same as a conviction.
County Jail vs. State Prison: Where to Look
The most common mistake is searching the wrong system. Pre-trial detainees and people serving short local terms sit in the county jail. Sentenced felons serve their time in a state prison run by ADOC, which keeps a separate locator. The table sorts out which system covers which part of the inmate population.
| County Jail | State Prison (DOC) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who Is Held | Pre-trial + short sentences | Sentenced felons |
| Run By | Conecuh County Sheriff | Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) |
| Where to Look | Jail phone, records request, VINELink | ADOC statewide inmate search |
| Confirmed Online Roster | None located | Yes, public search form |
State and Federal Inmate Search
Three custody levels use three different tools. For a sentenced Alabama state prisoner, use the ADOC inmate search, which accepts an AIS number or a name. For a sentenced federal prisoner, use the federal Bureau of Prisons locator, which searches by number or by name. For an immigration detainee, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator, which works by A-number plus country of birth or by biographical details.
The federal Bureau of Prisons locator covers people in federal custody and sits outside the Conecuh County jail population entirely.
Federal pre-trial defendants are often in U.S. Marshals custody before sentencing. Conecuh County sits in the federal Southern District of Alabama, so the U.S. Marshals Southern District page and the federal court are the routing channels for those cases. None of these federal tools work like a county booking gallery.
The Alabama Department of Corrections homepage is the gateway to the statewide inmate locator and the rest of the state prison population resources.
From this ADOC homepage you can reach the inmate search and facility lists that track the sentenced state population once a Conecuh County case leaves local custody.
Conecuh County Detention Facilities
The county inmate population is held at a single confirmed local facility. The research found no separate jail annex, regional jail, work-release building, ICE center, BOP facility, or state prison inside the county. The sheriff also runs a county public-safety app that may carry current public notices.

Conecuh County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Conecuh County inmate population?
The clearest sourced figure is an average total jail population of 64 in 2019, reported by the Vera Institute county dataset, against a rated capacity of 134 beds. That is a historical dataset average, not a live count. The county did not publish a current daily headcount in the sources reviewed, so for today's number you should call the sheriff's office.
How do I search the Conecuh County inmate population?
There is no confirmed online county jail roster, so the search starts with the jail phone line at 251-578-1260. Ask staff whether the person is in custody and what their status is. If you need a document, file a public-records request with the sheriff. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use the ADOC inmate search instead.
Can I look up a released or past inmate?
Yes, but not through a web roster. Submit a public-records request to the sheriff's office for the historical booking record, charges, bond, and arrest report, where releasable. A person sentenced to state time appears in the ADOC locator. For a full criminal history, use the separate ALEA criminal-records process.
Who runs the Conecuh County Jail?
The Conecuh County Sheriff's Office operates the jail at 104 Liberty Street in Evergreen. Under Alabama law, the sheriff has legal custody and charge of the county jail and its prisoners. That makes the sheriff's office the first place to ask about custody, booking records, visitation, and records requests.
Are Conecuh County jail mugshots online?
No public booking-photo gallery was located in official sources. A booking photo may be available through a public-records request to the sheriff when it is releasable. Expungement orders can restrict or remove covered arrest records, including photos. The jail roster mugshots page explains what is and is not public.
What is the difference between the county jail and ADOC?
The county jail holds pre-trial detainees and people serving short local sentences, run by the sheriff. ADOC runs the state prisons that hold sentenced felons. They keep separate records and separate search tools. A person can move from the county jail to ADOC after a felony conviction and sentencing.
How do I get release or transfer notifications?
Register the person on VINELink Alabama, the statewide custody and victim-notification service, where the person appears in the system. VINELink is a supplement to the jail, not a replacement, and availability can vary by agency participation. Use the jail phone line to confirm anything time-sensitive.
