You will find the Conecuh County Jail at 104 Liberty Street, Evergreen, AL 36401, a few minutes from the I-65 exits in Evergreen, the county seat. Dial 251-578-1260 for the jail or for the sheriff's office in the same building.

Inside the county, this is the lone adult jail, so people arrested by Evergreen police, deputies or Alabama troopers all wind up on Liberty Street. Juvenile cases are the exception and go to a youth center elsewhere. Phone before you drive, since visiting, bond and property pickup run on separate schedules. Jot down who answered, in case you need to follow up.

Put the surname into the official custody lookup, adding a first name when the form allows. Check each result against the birthday or age, because common names repeat. Keep the booking number and the jail's name handy for deposits, letters and phone accounts later.

Alabama's VINELink custody tool is another place to check, and it can alert you by text, phone or email when the person changes location or gets out. Either source can run behind. When the screen and what you heard disagree, call the jail at 104 Liberty Street, Evergreen, AL 36401, 251-578-1260.

Booking takes several steps: prints, a photo, an inventory of belongings, a medical screening and typing in each charge. The record often stays hidden until all of that is done. A trip to the hospital first, a misspelled name or a two-part surname can also keep someone from showing up.

Give it a few hours and search with other spellings. If you still come up empty, phone the Liberty Street jail at 251-578-1260 with the full name, birthday and where the arrest took place. Ask if the person was brought in, sent to another county, or cited and released on the spot. An empty screen doesn't prove they were freed.

Most arrests in the county come from one of three groups. Evergreen police patrol inside the city. Sheriff's deputies handle Castleberry, Repton and the unincorporated areas. Alabama state troopers work Interstate 65, which runs right by Evergreen. A city officer might hold someone at the Front Street office while finishing paperwork, then drive them to the county jail.

The arresting agency points to the right court and to the office holding the report. Unsure which one it was? The jail at 251-578-1260 can say. Booking records show which agency delivered each person to Liberty Street.

Maybe not. On many traffic and minor charges, a trooper or deputy can write a citation listing a court date, have the driver sign it, and let them go. No jail booking happens then, so the custody lookup will have nothing to show.

A stop that turned up drunk driving, drugs, a gun or an outstanding warrant is far more likely to end in a booking. Confirm by calling the jail at 251-578-1260. Even with just a citation, the court date printed on it counts. Skipping that date can bring a warrant, so if the citation went missing, ask the circuit clerk at 251-578-2066 for the date.

Alabama Rule 4.3 sets the limits. For an arrest made without any warrant, probable cause has to be confirmed by a judge within two days. If a warrant was behind the arrest and bond is out of reach, the court date comes inside three days. Domestic violence arrests work differently, because release may wait a full day for a judge to write terms.

During that first appearance, each charge gets read aloud, the right to an attorney is explained, and release terms are set or reviewed. For the date and time, contact the circuit clerk at the county Government Center, 111 Court Street, Room 203, Evergreen, AL 36401, 251-578-2066. Hearings take place at the county Government Center on Court Street.

Get the bond figure for every charge from the jail at 251-578-1260, and ask where it should be paid. The circuit clerk keeps the court file at the county Government Center, 111 Court Street, Room 203, Evergreen, AL 36401, 251-578-2066, weekdays 8 to 5. Amounts usually follow Alabama's bail schedule, and the state tacks on a 3.5 percent charge and a $35 filing fee.

Ways to post: paying in full, hiring a licensed bondsman, putting up land, or a signature release if the judge permits one. Under Aniah's Law, an Evergreen judge may refuse bail after a hearing on listed violent crimes, a list Alabama voters extended on May 19, 2026, to take in attempted murder and firing into an occupied home or car. Each option is laid out in our bond guide.

Booking charges explain the reason for the arrest; the formal charges filed by prosecutors can end up different. Felonies can carry over a year in prison, while misdemeanors stop at 12 months in jail. Every charge also has a class letter, Class A through Class D for felonies, that shapes the punishment range.

To see the real court file, ask the circuit clerk, who lets you view it free, or pay to search Alacourt Access online. Note the case number on everything; it keeps your loved one's case separate from anyone with a matching name. An arrest charge proves nothing by itself.

Every charge is different. Evergreen's District Court takes state misdemeanors and the first hearings on felonies. An indictment by the grand jury shifts the case to Circuit Court. Charges written by Evergreen or Repton officers under city law go to that town's court, for example Evergreen Municipal Court, 355 East Front Street, Evergreen, AL 36401, 251-578-1574.

The ticket or warrant names the right court. If the paperwork is gone, the circuit clerk at 251-578-2066 can find the case for you. Our Conecuh court guide follows a case from the first appearance through trial.

If money is the barrier, yes. At the first court date in Evergreen, the person tells the judge they need appointed counsel and signs a sworn statement about money and bills. Rule 6.3 says a relative's help with bond does not automatically disqualify them. Judges in this circuit appoint private or contract attorneys, and the state pays.

Families may also retain their own attorney. The circuit clerk at 251-578-2066 can explain the application. For the statewide program, Alabama's Office of Indigent Defense Services is at 100 North Union Street, Suite 680, Montgomery, AL 36104, 334-242-7059. Save case details for meetings with the lawyer, since calls from the jail are recorded.

Phone the jail at 251-578-1260 and ask for the officer on duty, then ask that your concern be passed to the nurse. Use the legal name and birthday so the message reaches the correct person. Mention medications and doses, allergies, pregnancy, a recent surgery or a mental health emergency.

Officers can write down what you say even if privacy law keeps them from sharing much in return. Check with staff before you mail or drop off any medicine. For injuries from the arrest, photograph them if you get the chance and keep dated notes for the defense. If an emergency happens outside the jail, dial 911.

Ask the jail at 251-578-1260 for this week's visiting hours, which can shift with housing moves and staffing. Video visits open up once you register and are approved, and some of them work from home on a phone or computer.

Look over our visitation guide for ID and dress rules, and our remote visits page for creating a video account. Check that the person has not been moved before you make the trip. Ask about bringing kids and what items are allowed through the door. Video sessions may cost money, so ask the price first.

Inmates place calls out; families generally can't dial in. To receive calls, open a prepaid phone account tied to your number. Calls are recorded, and staff or prosecutors may listen to them, except for properly arranged legal calls with a defense attorney.

Our jail phone guide explains setup, and the messaging page covers electronic messages where available. When calls suddenly stop, note the time and any recorded error, then ask the jail at 251-578-1260 what changed. Keep conversation away from the charges.

Money goes in online or over the phone at any hour, and automated payment fees are capped at $3.00. The account covers commissary, such as snacks, stamps and soap, plus phone time. Match the booking number to the name before paying, so the deposit does not end up on a stranger's account.

Our money deposit guide lists each method, and the commissary page shows what can be ordered. Hold on to receipts. Account funds and bond are separate, and a deposit will not free anyone. Deposit gone missing? Call the jail at 251-578-1260.

Each envelope needs the inmate's full name and ID number, then Conecuh County Jail, 104 Liberty Street, Evergreen, AL 36401. Add your complete return address so the jail can send back anything it rejects. Use it for magazine subscriptions as well.

Drug-smuggling arrests at the jail in May 2026 mean mail, clothing and money drops get close inspection, so learn the rules first. Our mail instructions list what passes. Leave out cash, medicine and anything you can't replace. Items taken from the person at booking go back to them at release.

A mugshot is part of the booking file and does not mean the person did anything. For mugshots not already public, contact the sheriff's office at 104 Liberty Street, Evergreen, AL 36401, 251-578-1260, which also takes calls from the media. Include the full name and the booking date.

Federal agencies rarely give booking photos to the public or news outlets. A Marshals wanted poster for an escapee is one of the few exceptions. An ICE photo can only be sought through an ICE records request, and ICE must approve it. Watch out for sites that want money to take a picture down.

Even after bond is accepted or a judge signs a release, officers finish paperwork and look for other holds. Plan on a few hours, and longer late at night or on weekends. Call the jail at 104 Liberty Street, Evergreen, AL 36401, 251-578-1260 before you head over to Liberty Street for the pickup.

Whatever was logged into property at intake, keys and wallets included, normally goes home with the person. Evidence is a different matter and is controlled by the case. If a friend needs to collect belongings later, ask what signed permission and ID they need.

Sentences over a year are carried out by the Alabama Department of Corrections. The wait for an ADOC bed is usually spent at the Evergreen jail, sometimes for weeks. At the reception center, staff look at medical and mental health needs, security level and gang ties, then pick the prison.

The ADOC inmate search follows the transfer, by name or six-digit AIS number. It lists people now in custody and skips youthful offender files. After the prison is known, our Alabama prisons directory gives its address and visiting rules.

Ask the sheriff's office at 251-578-1260 or the circuit clerk at the county Government Center, 111 Court Street, Room 203, Evergreen, AL 36401, 251-578-2066. Evergreen city warrants may sit with the city police. Court cases are searchable on Alacourt Access for a fee, while the county court website gives the clerk's hours.

Talk to a defense attorney about arranging a surrender. Surrenders take place at the jail, 104 Liberty Street, Evergreen, AL 36401, and having bond money lined up first speeds things along.

Children on juvenile charges are kept out of the adult jail. When home is not an option, the usual placement is the Baldwin County Regional Juvenile Detention Center, 43405 Nicholsville Road, Bay Minette, AL 36507, 251-580-2540. Others go to the Strickland Youth Center, 2315 Costarides Street, Mobile, AL 36617, 251-574-1450. A detention hearing follows within three days.

A parent should call the circuit clerk at 251-578-2066, which connects to juvenile probation, for the child's placement and hearing date. Juvenile files are confidential and stay off adult searches. Sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds facing the worst felonies may land in adult court, and then on Liberty Street.

Federal arrests are made by agencies like the ATF or the U.S. Marshals. Cases from the county are heard in Mobile, at the federal court's Southern Division, 155 St. Joseph Street, Mobile, AL 36602, 251-690-2371. A magistrate judge sees the person fast, and a pretrial services officer interviews them and reports to the court. A hearing under the Bail Reform Act decides release, with no chart of amounts.

Plenty of federal defendants are housed at the Evergreen jail through a Marshals contract until sentencing. To confirm a location, call the U.S. Marshals at 155 St. Joseph Street, Suite 201, Mobile, AL 36602, 251-499-6620. A federal sentence eventually brings a transfer to the Bureau of Prisons; check the federal inmate locator.

Booking fingerprints are shared with federal databases, which is how ICE hears about an arrest. A detainer can follow, asking the Evergreen jail for as much as two extra days of custody once release would otherwise happen. Posting bond leaves the detainer in place. When ICE fails to come within that window, the jail has to let them go.

To look someone up in the ICE online locator, use the A-number with the birth country, or the legal name with birthday and country. ICE covers this area from its New Orleans office, 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087, 504-318-2360. Only ICE chooses the next location.

Some callers prey on families in the hours after an arrest, insisting that bond or a fine be paid immediately. No genuine jail or court office collects through gift cards, crypto or payment apps, and they do not collect money through social media chats.

End the call and dial the Evergreen jail on your own at 251-578-1260, using this number, not one the caller supplied. Court payment questions belong with the circuit clerk at 251-578-2066. Note the caller's number, the time and their words, and do not give card numbers to anyone who phoned you first.
