Escambia County Jail, AL

Planning a visit to Escambia County Jail (AL)? Start by confirming local rules with the administrative office at 316 Court Street, Brewton, AL 36426 (Monday–Friday, 8:00am–4:00pm). Many Alabama jails use remote video visiting systems or lobby kiosks rather than traditional face-to-face visits, and most sessions are monitored and recorded. Schedules and rules vary by facility—visit hours, session length, visitor limits, and whether in-person options exist all differ. Check the process before you travel. Common steps include getting added to the inmate's approved visitor list, registering for a visitation account or at a kiosk, and scheduling your time in advance. On visit day, expect to sign in, show valid ID, and follow staff or kiosk instructions.

Escambia County Jail posts a public inmate roster at /roster.php where you can search by name or other identifiers. Need to confirm a recent release? Use the 48-hour release view at /roster.php?released=1. For detailed booking information, individual profile pages are available through roster_view.php using a booking number parameter (booking_num=...). When possible, search with a booking number or AIS number—these give the fastest, most exact results. Name searches can return multiple matches. Quick workflow: open the roster, enter a booking number, AIS, or full name, submit, then narrow the date range if you're checking admits or releases.

Escambia County Jail in Alabama lists Sheriff Heath Jackson as the county sheriff. To track custody status, the facility website offers two useful tools: a released-inmates roster at /roster.php?released=1 (showing 48-hour releases) and individual booking/profile pages through roster_view.php using a booking_num parameter. After an arrest, intake at Alabama county facilities typically includes a photo, fingerprints, and medical, dental, and psychological screening. Reception and initial classification commonly take about two weeks and often result in a Time Sheet showing sentence details and a projected release date. For property pickup or health-record requests, expect standard steps: showing a photo ID, completing a property-release form, and signing time-limited health-record release forms (with separate consent for sensitive records).
