We’ve compiled a helpful list of Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about finding an inmate in the Chilton County Jail, how jail rosters work, and what happens after booking. For further assistance, call 205-755-1053.

The Chilton County Jail is licensed for 232 inmates, but on weekends especially, it is often forced to hold many more. Most city and county jails turn over at least 40% of their inmate population monthly, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, while approximately 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Stays of more than twelve months usually involve serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Chilton County stay at the Chilton County facility much longer.

Each year, Chilton County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 4,640 offenders.
