Stretching out on a country road with fields and forest behind it, the blue and white, 98-bed Barbour County Jail also houses the Barbour County Sheriff's Office, and is the location where all detainees on either misdemeanor or felony charges will be held as they wait for their trial or as they wait for their sentence.

Staff are able to answer any questions that are not covered by privacy regulations and can explain how to pay bail and other key information. There are many housing pods within, each having single or double occupancy cells that have a bed, slotted window, desk space and a seat, and a toilet with sink. The pods have tables for eating and for socialization and other activities. Medical care is provided by medical staff, both ongoing concerns and injury or illness that begins after incarceration.

Contact with both family and friends is encouraged, it improves the mental health and the outlook of the inmate and this in turn makes the facility safer for both staff and inmates.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Barbour County Jail?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Barbour County Jail, call the jail’s booking line at 334-775-3434.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Barbour County Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Barbour County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Barbour County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Barbour County Jail?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Barbour County and other Alabama and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Barbour County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Barbour County Jail Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

The Barbour County Sheriff recommends that you might want to use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Barbour County.

However if you don't want to use a bail bond agent:

  • You can always pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Barbour County, or in some cases the state of Alabama, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Barbour County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
  • The typical fee for a bond in Alabama is between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15% or less.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1,500.00.
  • Pay by cash, cashier's check, money order or credit card at the Barbour County Jail, or the courthouse in Barbour County where the offense took place.

Call 334-775-3434 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Barbour County inmate locator.
