Autauga Metro Jail Recent Bookings And Arrests
Booking Arrests in the city of Prattville, Autauga County
How Arrests and Bookings Work at the Autauga Metro Jail
Every adult arrested in Autauga County, whether by sheriff's deputies, Prattville officers or the Autaugaville police, is processed at the Metro Jail, 136 North Court Street, Prattville, AL 36067. Prattville has no city lockup, so even a city misdemeanor ends with a trip to Court Street, a block from the courthouse.
Intake runs in the same order each time: officers log property, take fingerprints and a booking photo, check for outstanding warrants and medical needs, and assign a housing pod. With the building back in use only since spring 2026, staff routines at intake may still be settling.
Names reach the Autauga County Sheriff's inmate search once processing wraps up, and that sheriff-run list is the source of what families see on our pages. Booking photos are not always shown online; for a mugshot request, charges or a bond figure, phone the jail at 334-361-2600. The sheriff's Most Wanted page covers people deputies are still looking for, which is separate from new bookings.
Autauga Booking Questions

How long after an arrest in Prattville does a name show up online?
Processing often takes a few hours, and a busy weekend night can stretch that. A name missing hours after an arrest is common; dial 334-361-2600 rather than making the trip downtown.
Does a Prattville police arrest go to the Metro Jail?
Yes. The city sends its prisoners to the county building, so Prattville city charges and county charges share one roster.
Can I get a copy of an Autauga booking photo?
Photos are not posted for every person. Ask jail staff whether a release is allowed for that booking, since requests are handled case by case.
What property can an arrested person keep at Court Street?
Officers inventory clothing, wallets and phones during intake and store them until release. To pick up property for someone, call first and ask what the person must sign.
Where does someone go after the Autauga booking is finished?
They move to a housing pod or, once bond is posted, out the front door. Getting released is the subject of our Autauga bail page. The sheriff's own Autauga inmate search lists current bookings: type a last name, open the record, and copy the booking number for deposits, letters or bond. Our Prattville mail guide and deposit guide pick up from there.
