Marion Jail and Records Contact

The Marion County Sheriff's Office and its detention center are at 842 Industrial Drive, Hamilton, AL 35570. Call 205-921-7433 for the 24-hour non-emergency line. Administrative office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. No separate records-unit line, online public-record form, booking-photo fee, or response timetable was published in the source material. During office hours, ask for the records custodian and request a cost estimate before authorizing copies.

The right contact depends on whether the question concerns police activity, county jail admission, a court result, or a different custody system:

  • For a Marion County booking image or intake record, use the county search and request guide, then contact the sheriff when an official copy is needed.
  • For a warrant concern, consult Most Wanted Fugitives, then contact the sheriff, court, or an attorney. The public wanted list is not a full warrant database.
  • For a recent county admission, check Current Inmates. For a recent departure from the detention center, check the separate 48 Hour Release view.
  • For a release date outside that 48-hour window, ask the sheriff for the retained booking record. The web window is not a retention rule.
  • For the final charge or case outcome, use Alabama court records or contact the Marion County court clerk rather than relying on intake allegations.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Alabama Department of Corrections offender search. ADOC Central Records is at P.O. Box 301501, Montgomery, AL 36130-1501 and can be reached at 334-353-9738.
  • For federal incarceration or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator because those systems are separate from Marion County custody.

Call 911 for an emergency. The sheriff's web contact form is not monitored at all times, so do not use it for an urgent matter.
