Licensed for 28 inmates, the Bullock County Jail often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. A typical city or county jail turns over at least 40% of its population every month, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in Bullock County remain in custody at the Bullock County facility much longer.
Bullock County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 560 offenders each year.
Bullock County keeps a small jail at 217 North Prairie Street, Union Springs, AL 36089. Call (334) 738-2670. Under Alabama law the county sheriff has legal custody of the county jail. The jail is licensed for 28 beds but sometimes holds more, especially on weekends. It holds adults waiting for court and people serving sentences under a year. People sentenced to longer terms are moved to state or federal custody. Bullock Correctional Facility, also near Union Springs, is a separate state prison.
Call the jail to confirm custody, charges and bond. After arrest, the person must go before a judge promptly and within 72 hours (Rule 4.3). Bullock County is in the 3rd Judicial Circuit with Barbour County. In most cases bail must be offered. The exceptions are capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and, after a hearing, Aniah’s Law offenses, a list voters expanded in May 2026. Judges begin with the Rule 7.2 schedule (for example $300–$6,000 for a Class A misdemeanor). Release may come on recognizance, an unsecured bond, or a secured bond paid in cash, by money order or card, through a bail bond company, or with property. Look up case information on Alacourt, and if you may have a warrant, call the sheriff’s office or a lawyer before turning yourself in.
Visits must be booked at least 24 hours ahead by calling the jail. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There are no Sunday visits. Up to two guests may come, and each needs a government-issued photo ID and must be on the inmate’s approved list. Dress modestly: no shorts or sleeveless tops. Anyone under 18 must come with a parent or guardian.
Mail goes to the inmate’s name and ID number, Bullock County Jail, 217 North Prairie Street, Union Springs, AL 36089. Use blue or black ink and include your return address. Magazines and paperbacks must come from the publisher. Money orders for an inmate’s account can be mailed to “Att: Inmate Deposit” at the same address. Call the jail to confirm the current ways to deposit money. Phone accounts are set up through NCIC at ncic.com or (800) 943-2189, and calls run $0.21–$0.25 a minute.
No public bus serves the jail, so most visitors drive in. There’s gas at the Marathon at 102 Martin Luther King Boulevard and the Beeline Sunoco at 401 Conecuh Avenue West. McDonald’s (201 Conecuh Avenue East) and Subway (112 Conecuh Avenue) are both a short drive away.
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Bullock 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 Bullock 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 334-738-2670.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Bullock County Jail in Union Springs 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 Bullock 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 334-738-2670 to get the exact amount.
The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.
