Every detail on this page is checked by hand, not scraped.

In Clayton, at 24 Robertson Airport Drive, Clayton, AL 36016, the Barbour County Sheriff's Office keeps the county's adult jail, the Barbour County Jail. Its population comes from every part of the county, Eufaula included: people waiting on court dates, plus some serving short sentences. Contact rules here differ from many jails. Visits are by Pay Tel video only, personal letters go to a scanning center in Greensboro, North Carolina, and deposits are made through Inmate Canteen. The office takes calls at 334-775-3434 weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Start with the sheriff's Barbour County inmate lookup, which lists everyone held at the Barbour County Jail today along with charges and bond details. Note the ID number next to the person's name; scanned mail, Pay Tel calls and video visits all depend on it. A name that doesn't appear may mean a release or a transfer, and the jail can confirm either one at 334-775-3434. Statewide court dates and case files are searchable on Alacourt, and VINELink will send free notices if the person's custody status changes.

Anyone hoping to stay close to someone at the Barbour County Jail should know two things up front: nobody visits in person anymore, and personal letters never go to the jail building. Both changes are explained below, after the basics on finding someone, bond and warrants; money, calls and court follow. For questions about a person in custody, phone the Barbour County Sheriff's Office at 334-775-3434 on a weekday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
The inmate lookup on the sheriff's website lists the current population. Our booking page tracks recent arrests as well. Copy down the ID number shown for the person, since mail cannot be addressed without it. VINELink sends free custody-status alerts.
The Barbour County Sheriff's Office operates it under Sheriff Tyrone Smith, in office since January 2019. You will find the building at 24 Robertson Airport Drive, Clayton, AL 36016; Clayton is the seat of this southeast Alabama county. Adults booked by deputies or by any other police agency in Barbour County come here. Most are awaiting court on misdemeanor or felony charges, and a smaller group is serving a short sentence. A prison term longer than a year means a transfer to the Alabama Department of Corrections.
Each of these towns has its own police force, and their arrests can lead to a booking in Clayton:
Eufaula stands apart because its police Corrections Division runs a city jail at 545 East Barbour Street. Officers there guard inmates and take them to court, bond meetings and doctor visits. Whether a Eufaula prisoner stays in that jail or is moved to the county jail depends on the charge and the court, so ask Eufaula police at 334-687-1200. Families with an arrest in Blue Springs or another small place can reach the Clayton jail at 334-775-3434 to learn who has the case.
Phone the jail for the bond amount and the name of the court that set it. Bail is a constitutional right for most defendants in Alabama, and families usually choose among cash, a licensed bondsman, or a property bond where one is allowed. Each option is laid out on our bail page. On that same call, ask where to post it and which forms of payment are accepted.
Go in person. The circuit clerk's Magistrates & Warrants page explains that an arrest warrant is not public record until it has been served, and that anyone who suspects one must appear in person at the Barbour County Sheriff's Office. The office and the jail share 24 Robertson Airport Drive in Clayton, so that is where a person turns themselves in; the number is 334-775-3434. Misdemeanors from inside Eufaula city limits go through Eufaula's municipal court instead.

Only on a screen. Pay Tel's Let's Visit! system connects you from a phone, tablet or computer, and getting started goes like this:
Stuck on the app? Pay Tel's help line is 1-800-729-8355.
A North Carolina scanning service receives them. Each personal letter is scanned there, and the person reads it on a jail tablet; the paper itself never reaches them. Copy this address exactly:
Barbour County Jail
[Inmate Name], [Inmate ID #]
Facility ID # 5267
PO Box 18247
Greensboro, NC 27419
Leaving off the full name or ID number can keep a letter from being matched to the right person. Legal mail skips the scanner, and attorneys can get current instructions by phoning 334-775-3434. Personal letters should never be addressed to the street address in Clayton.
Pay Tel handles those too. According to the sheriff, a call or a message is the quickest way to reach someone inside. Accounts are opened at paytel.com or by dialing 1-800-729-8355.
Through Inmate Canteen. A free account at team3.inmatecanteen.com works from home, and an Inmate Canteen kiosk in the Sheriff's Office lobby takes in-person deposits by Visa, MasterCard or Discover. At the kiosk, a single transaction tops out at $150, and the total for any 30 days tops out at $500, fees included. Funds cover commissary purchases and communication services. Outside clothing and personal items are no longer taken in, so anything your loved one needs has to be bought through commissary.
It could be either one. Barbour County belongs to Alabama's 3rd Judicial Circuit and keeps two courthouses, each with an office of Circuit Clerk Paige Q. Smith: Clayton at One Court Square (334-775-8366) and Eufaula at 405 East Barbour Street, Suite A119 (334-687-1515). Case records can be searched on Alacourt, and our court page goes into more depth.
Clayton is a small town with few places to eat or spend the night, so most visitors arrive by car. Eufaula, the county's larger city on Lake Eufaula, has a wider choice of hotels and restaurants.
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Barbour County Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Barbour County Jail:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 334-775-3434.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Barbour County Jail in Clayton for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Barbour County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 334-775-3434 to get the exact amount.
The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.
