How to Search for an Inmate in Talladega County Jail (Online Booking Search)

Head to the official page labeled "Talladega County Sheriffs Office Inmate Confinements." That's the Sheriff's Office booking and inmate search tool.

The site gives you three options: "Current Confinements," "Admits by Date Range," and "Releases by Date Range." Pick Current Confinements to see who's in custody right now. Use the admits or releases searches when you need to find a booking or release from a specific time window.

For the admits or releases searches, keep your date range tight. The page states: "Limit the date range to 31 days or less." Not sure when something happened? Search one month at a time - or even smaller chunks - rather than trying a longer span all at once.

1. Pick a 31-day (or smaller) window - for example, choose a single month as your first search window.
2. Run the search under the right category - use “Admits by Date Range” if you’re trying to find a booking, or “Releases by Date Range” if you’re trying to confirm a release.
3. Move the window and try again if needed - if you don’t get the result you expect, shift your dates to the next 31-day window and rerun the search until you cover the timeframe you need.

Looking for something recent? Use the built-in presets like "Last 24 hours" or "Last 7 days." These shortcuts work well when you think the booking or release happened within the past week and don't want to guess exact dates.

Search Not Found Next Steps

• ✓ Double-check the spelling of the name you entered, then try again on the “Talladega County Sheriffs Office Inmate Confinements” page.
• ✓ If you’re using admits/releases, adjust your dates but keep them within the site rule to “Limit the date range to 31 days or less.”
• ✓ Try a different search type: if you used “Admits by Date Range” or “Releases by Date Range,” also check “Current Confinements” (and vice versa).
