How to Check If Someone Was Released from Etowah County Detention Center (48-Hour Release List)

On the Etowah County Sheriff's Office inmate roster page, look for a link labeled

1. Open the sheriff’s inmate roster area: Look for the page that offers roster options.
2. Find the roster links: You should see an option for “Current Inmates” and an option for “48 Hour Release.”
3. Select “48 Hour Release” (also shown as “Released Inmates”): This switches the roster view to the people released from the Etowah County Detention Center within the last 48 hours.

If you land on a page titled "Inmate Roster" with a number in parentheses (like "Inmate Roster (637)"), that number shows the total roster count. Seeing that heading confirms you're on the right page.

Not finding someone on the 48-hour release list doesn't tell you where they are. It only means they aren't listed as released within that specific window. They may have been released more than two days ago, their information might not be posted yet, or they could still be in custody and listed on the current inmates roster instead.
