This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post a bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those services.
Chilton County Jail and Sheriff Contacts
For a current custody question, contact the Chilton County Jail / Detention Center, 301 City Street, Clanton, AL 35045, at 205-755-1053. The facility receives and releases inmates around the clock, but that does not mean records staff are available at all hours. The Chilton County Sheriff’s Office main number is 205-755-4698; after-hours dispatch is 205-755-1120, and emergencies belong on 911. Administrative office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding holidays.
Requesting a Sheriff Record
Use the Sheriff’s Public Records Request Form for a booking record or other Sheriff-held record. Its current hand-delivery instruction is Chilton County Sheriff, Attn: Public Records, 53 Robert Threlkeld Parkway, Clanton, AL 35045-3421. Official pages also display an older 500 2nd Avenue North address, so call first rather than assuming the addresses are interchangeable.
The form describes a minimum processing fee, estimated production costs, prepayment, labor charges, and copy charges. Confirm the live fee before submitting because the observed current page and older text differed. The form describes a compliance target of up to 30 business days after final production cost; it is not an instant custody-confirmation service.
Choose the Right Lookup
- For a current county-jail entry, start with the official current inmate roster and the Daily Arrest Report.
- For a recent release window, use the Sheriff’s released roster and this site’s Weekly Arrest Log explanation.
- For a county custody alert or participation check, see VINELink Inmate Check.
- For a court filing or outcome, use the Chilton County Circuit Court or Alacourt path.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the ADOC Inmate Search. Federal and immigration detention are separate BOP or ICE locator questions.
