About This Site

Finding someone in custody in St. Clair County starts with the right system. A recent local booking belongs with the St. Clair County Jail roster in Pell City, a sentenced state prisoner may move into Alabama Department of Corrections custody, and federal or immigration detention uses separate federal tools. This private site organizes those routes so readers can move from roster to facility contact to records request without mixing them together.

What This Site Does

Alabama makes many jail and public-record materials available, but the access point changes with custody status. Sheriff Billy J. Murray's office operates the St. Clair County Jail and its online roster for county-jail custody. ADOC runs the statewide inmate search for sentenced prisoners, including people held at St. Clair Correctional Facility in Springville. Federal Bureau of Prisons and ICE systems cover federal and immigration custody. This site brings those rosters, official links, phone numbers, facility pages, visitation notes, and request steps into one St. Clair County reference.

What You Can Use Here

The pages are written around the questions people usually have after a booking or transfer in St. Clair County.

  • Lookup guidance for jail inmate records, jail roster mugshots, and court records after a jail arrest.
  • Facility pages for the St. Clair County Jail and St. Clair Correctional Facility, with official address and phone details.
  • Practical steps for the sheriff's inmate roster, VINELink, ADOC inmate search, BOP locator, and ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
  • Records-request context for booking records or mugshots, including the sheriff's Alabama-resident public-records process.

Limits of This Private Site

This is a privately run reference site. It is not connected to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, the St. Clair County Jail, ADOC, any Alabama court, or any federal detention agency.

  • We cannot release, hold, move, or transfer anyone in custody.
  • We cannot post bond, schedule visits, add commissary funds, or make phone/video arrangements for you.
  • We do not provide legal advice or decide what a charge, bond, warrant, or court entry means.
  • We cannot guarantee that every fee, address, roster entry, phone number, or vendor link remains current.

For current custody status, charges, bond amounts, release status, or case numbers, verify directly with the St. Clair County Detention Center, ADOC, the Circuit Clerk, or the agency that created the record.

Search Partners

Some pages may include search tools operated by third-party providers. Those providers set their own pricing, terms, and result rules. If a visitor chooses a paid signup through one of those tools, this site may receive a referral fee, which helps keep the public guide available. We do not control partner pricing, partner databases, or partner result accuracy.

Keeping Details Current

Jail rosters, visitation rules, public-records procedures, phone vendors, and court access points can change with little notice. We update pages as changes are found, but gaps can happen. Call the St. Clair County Jail at 205-814-3525 or the appropriate official office before traveling, sending money, or relying on a record for an important decision.
