How to Look Up an Inmate at Escambia County Jail (AL) — step-by-step

This guide covers how to search the Escambia County Sheriff's Office online roster for current inmates, how to check the separate 48-hour released list, and how to open someone's individual profile page using their booking number. If you don't find the person online, I'll also explain your next best option.

Start with the Sheriff's Office "Current Inmates" roster page. On the Escambia County Sheriff's Office site, look for the page at "/roster.php" - that's the main list of people currently in custody. If you're navigating from the menu, find the option labeled "Current Inmates," then scan the roster for the name you need.

Think the person was recently released? Check the separate "Released Inmates" list. Escambia County posts a 48-hour released list at "/roster.php?released=1". It's worth checking both pages - especially if you heard they were being released, transferred, or "should be out by now." Someone who just left custody won't appear on the current roster anymore.

Found the name? Open their individual roster profile to see details tied to that specific booking. Profile pages on the Escambia County Sheriff's Office site use "roster_view.php" with a "booking_num" parameter - roster entries usually have a "View Profile" link or booking-number link that takes you there. A profile URL looks something like "roster_view.php?booking_num=ECSO26JBN000168." Opening the profile is especially helpful if you're comparing similar names and need to confirm you have the right person.

What You Can Confirm

• ✓ Confirm whether the person appears on the “Current Inmates” roster ("/roster.php")
• ✓ Check whether the person appears on the 48-hour “Released Inmates” list ("/roster.php?released=1")
• ✓ Open the individual roster profile page from a booking-number/“View Profile” link ("roster_view.php?booking_num=…")

Can't find the person on either list? Call the Escambia County Sheriff's Office non-emergency line at 251-809-0741 and ask them to confirm custody status. If you need to pass along information to the Sheriff's Office, there's also a tip line at 251-809-2154.
