How to Search for an Inmate at Talladega County Jail (Booking Search Tips)

Talladega County's official booking search page is labeled "Talladega County Sheriffs Office Inmate Confinements." If you see that title at the top of the page, you're in the right place. From there, you can look up people currently in custody or run date-based searches for recent admits and releases. Knowing the exact page title helps you confirm you're using the correct, official tool before you spend time searching.

On the "Inmate Confinements" page, you'll choose between a current list and date-based lists. Use "Current Confinements" when you believe the person is still in jail right now. If you're trying to confirm whether someone was recently booked in or released, go with the date-range options: "Admits by Date Range" or "Releases by Date Range." These are especially helpful when you're searching around a specific day. Just keep the search window tight (there's a hard limit that matters, and I cover it below).

The name search form has separate fields for First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name. Start with what you're most confident about (usually the last name), then add the first name to narrow things down. You'll also see fields for Charge and Arresting Agency. Those can help if the name is common, misspelled, or you're unsure which name the person was booked under. Not finding a match? Try leaving the middle name blank, testing a different spelling, or filling in fewer fields so you don't accidentally filter the person out.

If the online search isn't giving you results, call the Talladega County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number at (256) 362-2748. This is often the quickest way to confirm whether someone is currently in custody, recently admitted, or already released, especially when the timing is close or the spelling doesn't match what you expect.
