Find Detention Center Releases

Releases from Franklin County Detention Center

The Franklin County Detention Center is the only verified local detention facility in the project research. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office operates it and publishes a current-inmate roster plus a separate 48 Hour Release view. A person released from this facility can appear on the sheriff's release roster at franklinsheriff.org/roster.php?released=1 for the last 48 hours.

The release route depends on what happened to the booking. A person may be released to the community, released on bond, released after time served, transferred to ADOC, moved to another county, picked up by a federal agency, or directed to supervision. The sheriff's release roster can show the jail release event. It does not always explain the final court outcome or whether another agency took custody.

That distinction matters at this facility because the Detention Center can be the first custody point even when the next record sits somewhere else. A felony sentence may move the person to ADOC. A Russellville municipal matter may require municipal-court follow-up. A parole or probation issue may route to ABPP. The Franklin County release record identifies the end of the local booking, then the next source explains the status after release.

Confirm a Detention Center Release

Use the Franklin County jail sources first when the person was held locally. ADOC, BOP, ICE, and ABPP are useful only when the person's custody path moved into those systems. For a recent Franklin County Detention Center release, the sheriff's 48-hour release feed is the main public online source.

1. Open the Franklin County roster chooser.
2. Select 48 Hour Release or go directly to the released roster.
3. Search by name and compare the visible Release Date to the time window you need.
4. Open the profile and record the booking number, booking date, release date, charges, bond, and arresting agency when shown.
5. If the person is missing, call the Detention Center or check court, ADOC, ABPP, BOP, or ICE records based on the likely path.

Detention Center Records Contact

The Detention Center is the practical contact when a release has rotated off the public web page or when the online roster is unclear. The sheriff's sources also give broader office numbers for non-emergency and administrative contact. Use enough identifiers when asking for a release confirmation, such as full name, booking number, date of birth if known, and approximate booking or release date.

For court outcomes tied to a release, use the Franklin County Circuit Clerk at the courthouse or Alacourt. The jail can confirm a custody event; the court record explains bond orders, sentencing, probation, revocation, case closure, and other legal status details.

About the Franklin Jail

The Detention Center page says the facility opened March 17, 2008, can house approximately 220 inmates, and has on-site medical services through Southern Health Partners. It identifies the Mike Green Center entrance at the double glass doors as the jail lobby entrance for visitation and kiosk activity. These are facility details, not release guarantees, but they help distinguish the local jail from Alabama state prison and federal custody sources.

Detention Center Release Fields

The Franklin County released roster can show a booking photo thumbnail, name, booking number, release date and time, booking date and time, charges, bond, and a profile link. The profile can add age, gender, race, address, arresting agency, and booking photo. Those details help confirm that the record belongs to the right booking, but they should be verified with the jail or court when the legal effect matters.

After the 48-Hour Window

Once a release is older than 48 hours, the public online jail feed may no longer show it. That does not mean the release did not happen. It means the county's public release view is short-window. The next steps are direct Detention Center confirmation, a Sheriff's Office records channel, Franklin County Circuit Clerk or Alacourt records, and the proper state or federal source if the person was transferred.

If the person entered ADOC custody, search ADOC while the person is current. If the person is under parole, probation, or mandatory supervision, use ABPP and the Russellville Field Office. If the person was federally sentenced, use BOP. If the person moved into immigration custody, use ICE only as a current-custody locator. These systems are not interchangeable.

For a named-person lookup, keep the booking number and release date together. The booking number helps the jail locate the record; the release date helps separate one booking from another. If the person has a common name, also compare age, arresting agency, booking date, charges, and bond details when the profile is still visible.
