Coffee County Jail

The Coffee County Jail is a 126 bed jail in the city of New Brockton, Coffee County, Alabama. Offenders arrested for misdemeanors and felonies in this county are brought here for booking and processing, and if their crime requires it, are incarcerated until they either get bail or are released from custody on their own recognizance.

Those who are found guilty and sentenced to a term of less than one year, will do their time in this county. Those sentenced to longer terms will be sent to either the Alabama State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

This page provides information on how to search for an inmate in the official jail roster, which can be viewed by downloading their app, or by calling the facility at 334-894-6200, directions to the facility, and inmate services such as the visitation schedule and policies, funding an inmate's account, mailing them a letter, receiving phone calls from an inmate, voicemail, emailing and texting, tablet rentals, bail bond instructions, and commissary purchases.

It's always a good idea to find out and save the inmate's jail ID number or booking number as you may need this for sending mail or other communication needs. If you can't locate it online by downloading the Sheriff's app you can call the Coffee County Jail at 334-894-6200 to get it.

The Coffee County Jail is licensed for 126 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails, at least 40% of inmates turn over every month, 30% more every 90 days, and 20% more every six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Coffee County remain in the Coffee County facility much longer.

Coffee County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,520 offenders annually.

The Coffee County Jail is part of the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office complex at 1133 E McKinnon Street in New Brockton, roughly halfway between the county’s two courthouse towns, Enterprise and Elba. The jail opened in 1993. In 2023 the sheriff reported room for about 120 men and 30 women, with the women housed in a separate dormitory. The jail holds people from across the county who are waiting for trial, serving a county sentence, or waiting to be moved to a state or federal facility after a longer sentence. The sheriff’s office answers 24 hours a day at (334) 894-5535, and the jail can also be reached at (334) 894-6200.

People taken to the Coffee County Jail start at the booking desk in New Brockton. Rule 4.3 of the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure calls for an initial appearance before a judge without unnecessary delay and within 72 hours. Coffee County shares the Twelfth Judicial Circuit with Pike County. Cases are posted on Alacourt (v2.alacourt.com). The sheriff’s website, coffeeso.us, has a Most Wanted page. If you think a warrant is out, contact the sheriff’s office or an attorney before turning yourself in.

Bail is available in most Alabama cases. Judges may deny it in capital cases when the proof is evident or the presumption great. Aniah’s Law (2022) also allows a judge to deny it after a pretrial detention hearing for murder; first-degree kidnapping, rape, sodomy, sexual torture, domestic violence, human trafficking, burglary, arson and robbery; aggravated child abuse and certain offenses against children; and terrorism. In May 2026 voters passed Amendment 1 with 81.6% support, adding solicitation, attempt or conspiracy to commit murder and shooting into an occupied building or vehicle. Otherwise the court can release someone on personal recognizance or an unsecured appearance bond, or require a secured bond in cash, property or through a professional bail company. Rule 7.2’s recommended ranges, such as $5,000–$30,000 for a Class B felony or $1,000–$7,500 for DUI, guide the amount, but judges can depart from them. Call the jail for the bond amount and accepted payments.

What happens during booking at Coffee County Jail?

After arrest, individuals are processed at Coffee County Jail, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.

The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.

Here are the typical stages of the booking process at Coffee County Jail:

  • Verifying the person’s identity.
  • Taking mugshots.
  • Questions regarding medical and mental health history, along with drug and gang affiliations.
  • Collecting DNA if necessary.
  • Conducting a physical search.
  • Confiscating personal belongings.
  • Providing a phone call.

If you need details about an offender’s bail or bond, contact the facility at 334-894-6200.

How do you post bail in Coffee County?

If someone is taken to Coffee County Jail in New Brockton for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 334-894-6200.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

  • Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 334-894-6200.
  • Licensed bail bond agents in Coffee County can facilitate payment.
  • Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Coffee County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Coffee County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Coffee County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
